Abstract
A method and apparatus for producing radioisotopes. The method includes generating fast neutrons by irradiating a neutron producing target with a deuteron beam from a deuteron accelerator. These fast neutrons directly irradiate a first sample. The fast neutrons that pass through the first sample undergo multiple-scattering by a neutron scattering material made of a light element positioned around both the neutron producing target and the first sample. This arrangement generates various radioisotopes simultaneously in large amounts from both the first sample and a second sample through nuclear reactions. The method enables production of multiple radioisotopes in a single process for applications in medicine, research, education, agriculture, and industry.
