Abstract
A system and process for the production of nitrogen-13 atoms from carbon-13/fluid slurry is provided. The system (10) includes a device (14) for producing a proton beam (15) which travels along a preselected path and strikes a target in slurry. This target is positioned in the path of the proton beam (15) such that subjection of the target to such beam produces nitrogen-13 atoms in a predetermined form. The nitrogen-13 atoms are conducted from the target area and carried to a purification device for collecting a purified product containing such atoms. The cooling system serves to dissipate heat generated during the production of such nitrogen-13 atoms.
