Abstract

Highly enriched xenon124Xe /99.85%/ has been used for the experimental production of iodine123I by the /γ,n/ reaction. As the radiation source served a 30–45 MeV electron beam produced by a linear accelerator and converted by a tungsten converter to γ-radiation. The yield and radionuclidic purity of123I have been estimated, the content of isotopic impurities /124I and125I/ being for 30 MeV irradiations lower than 4×10−3%/.
