Abstract
Cadmium-109 is produced by the109Ag/p,n/ reaction at 9 MeV proton bombarding energy. Proton beam of about 30 μA is obtained from a T11/25 Tandem Accelerator. Natural silver targets are prepared by electroplating onto thick copper discs. Radiochemical separation of cadmium is performed by using an anion exchange column. Simple methods of target preparation and separation of the produced cadmium-109 are presented.
