Low energy cyclotron production and chemical separation of "no carrier added" iodine-124 from a reusable, enriched tellurium-124 dioxide/aluminum oxide solid solution target

Iodine-124 is a radionuclide with a 4.18 day half-life which decays by positron emission(23.3%) and electron capture (76.7%). Details on the preparation of this radionuclide via the ¹²⁴Te(p,n)¹²⁴I nuclear reaction are described. A reusable target uniquely suited for low energy cyclotron irradiations has been described along with specific characteristics for the dry distillation recovery of the ¹²⁴I species.
