Abstract
The dependence of Eu cementation by sodium amalgam in a semicountercur rent regime from citrate solutions on the Eu complex composition is st udied. The purity of the Gd-153 product from radioactive Eu can be inc reased during cementation by introducing correcting solutions of citri c acid and stable Eu. The selected conditions are verified by processi ng irradiated targets. The content of radioactive Eu in the Gd-153 pro duct is reduced from 0.01 to 0.0005% with respect to gamma-activity.
