Production of high purity 47Sc from proton irradiation of natural vanadium targets
A high-power cyclotron target capable of withstanding a proton current of 80 µA was developed. A novel separation method was developed for isolating the <sup>47</sup>Sc from the vanadium target and the co-produced <sup>51</sup>Cr contaminate. The final product characterization resulted in a chemically and radionuclidically pure <sup>47</sup>Sc product with high recovery yields.
