Abstract

82Sr has now been produced by the spallation of Molybdenum by protons of up to 800 MeV. The radiochemical recovery of strontium is described together with a description of the analytical techniques used to estimate recovered yields of the various radionuclides generated. A radionuclide generator is described for the rapid recovery of82Rb, the 1.25 min half-life decay product of82Sr. An outline is given of the quality control procedure adopted to ensure that the82Rb is suitable for clinical use.
