A system and method for producing Germanium-68 (Ge-68) isotopes is provided. The method includes irradiating a plated or encapsulated target containing Gallium, dissolving the irradiated target with an acid, and purifying the dissolved target by distillation to produce purified Ge-68. A dissolution cell assembly is provided for use in the dissolution step of the method.
A method for producing Actinium-225 from proton spallation of thorium targets via a radium generator. The method includes dissolving a thorium target into a thorium solution, evaporating the thorium solution thereby resulting in a dried thorium salt, reconstituting the dried thorium salt in sulfuric acid for formation of neutral thorium species, passing neutral thorium species through a cation exchange chromatography column for bulk thorium removal, conducting extraction chromatography in a mixed resin bed thereby eluting radium, evaporating the radium containing eluent, reconstituting dried radium, and conducting extraction chromatography to elute a purified radium fraction thereby constructing a radium generator.

METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF ACTINIUM-227 IN ACTINIUM-225
A method for determination of Actinium-227 (Ac-227) via indirectly produced Ra-225/Ac-225 parent/daughter. The determination of Ac-227 or its decay daughters can be used as a “pre-release” quality control test for total Ac-227 content.
A method for determination of Actinium-227 (Ac-227 ) via indirectly produced Ra- 225/Ac-225 parent/daughter. The determination of Ac-227 or its decay daughters can be used as a "pre-release" quality control test for total Ac-227 content. Method includes : Extracting actinium isotopes from purified Ra-225 to generate Stock A. Resting Stock A to allow Ac-227 to decay to Th-227. Adding a Thorium tracer to Stock A. Chemically isolating the Th-227 and Thorium tracer. Mounting the thorium isotopes to an alpha counting disc. Counting the alpha disc using alpha spectroscopy counting equipment to determined Th-227 quantity and tracer recovery percentage. Determine an amount of Ac-227 by using the counts.
