US Patent:

7804928, Sep 28, 2010

Filed:

Dec 11, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/332691

Inventors:

Jonathon Andrew Nye - Decatur GA, US
Robert Jerome Nickles - Madison WI, US

Assignee:

Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI

International Classification:

G21G 1/10

US Classification:

376195, 376157, 376190, 376194

Abstract:

The present invention relates to targets, systems and methods for the cyclotron production of I from aluminum telluride (AlTe) targets. The systems and methods utilize low energy proton cyclotrons to produce I by the Te(p,n) reaction from enriched AlTeglassy melts. The I is recovered in high yield from the glassy melt by adapted methods of common thermal distillation techniques.
