Summary
This research aims to investigate the potential production of Ac-225 by (n,2n) reaction using Indonesia’s research reactor (RSG-GAS) and a newly suggested modified low enriched uranium (LEU) electroplating capsule with an implanted Ra-226 target. The main idea was placing 1 gram Ra-226 targets in the center of low-enrichment uranium (LEU) electroplating capsules typically used for Mo-99 production within the reactor's central irradiation position, which feature three irradiation holes. . The evaluation showed that with the thin LEU layer, Ra-225 production increased by ~52%, reached 11 GBq at the end of irradiation time. With only one cycle and five times separation, a total of 120 days, the total production of Ac-225 reached 6.2 GBq.
