Abstract

The use of High Specific Activity Radionuclides HSARNs, obtained by either proton, deuteron or alpha cyclotron irradiation, followed by selective radiochemical separation from the irradiated target in No Carrier Added (NCA) form, is a powerful analytical tool. The main applications of these radionuclides are to medical diagnosis and therapy in addition to toxicological, environmental and industrial studies. Some examples of production and radioanalytical quality control methods for HSARNs are presented.
