Abstract
A method of obtaining, from a target compound, a radioisotope of a target element comprised in the target compound includes irradiating the target compound with high energy photon irradiation (gamma irradiation). Thereby the target element radioisotope is formed. The method is performed such that the target element radioisotope is of different oxidation state than the target element, and is comprised in a target element radioisotope compound that is separable from the target compound by a physical and/or chemical separation method.
