Abstract

Enrichment of51Cr has been made by recoil enrichment using potassium chromate as the target material. Irradiation of four days at a neutron flux of 2·1013n·cm−2·sec−1 in the core of PARR, followed by a chemical separation using a new liquid-anion exchanger, diphenyl-2pyridylmethane (0.1M in chloroform) gives a product of high specific activity (>30 Ci per gram), suitable for medical diagnostic applications.
