Abstract
Simultaneous production of carrier free Zr-89 and Nb-90,Nb-91m,Nb-92m through the (alpha, pxn) and (alpha, xn) nuclear reactions has been pe rformed by alpha-particle activation of Y2O3 target. The sequential se paration of the produced radioisotopes from the bulk target matrix has been achieved through LLX using TOA as a liquid anion exchanger. Form ation of the carrier free radionuclides in the target matrix and their purity in different stages of separation have been verified by gamma- ray spectrometry.
