Abstract

Two cyclotrons are being operated at IPEN-CNEN/SP: one model CV-28, capable of accelerating protons with energies up to 24 MeV and beam currents up to 30 mA, and three other particles; the other one, model Cyclone 30, accelerates protons with energy of 30 MeV and currents up to 350 mA. Both have the objective of irradiating targets both for radioisotope production for use in nuclear medicine and general research. The development of irradiating systems completely automatized was the objective of this work, always aiming to reduce the radiation exposition dose to the workers and to increase the reliability of use of these systems.
