Conveyance system for operation in radioactive environment

A system for manufacturing radionuclide generators includes an enclosure defining a radioactive environment. The enclosure includes radiation shielding to prevent radiation within the radioactive environment from moving to an exterior of the enclosure. The system also includes a conveyance system having a forward track and first carriages positioned on and movable along the forward track for conveying racks in a first direction. The conveyance system also includes a first walking beam mechanism magnetically coupled to the first carriages to move the first carriages. The conveyance system further includes a return track and second carriages positioned on and movable along the return track for conveying racks in a second direction opposite the first direction. The forward track and the return track form a loop.

Device for producing radioisotopes

The invention relates to a device (1) for producing radioisotopes by irradiating a target fluid using a particle beam (13). This device comprises an irradiation cell (7) that includes a cavity (3) for receiving the target fluid. A non-cryogenic cooling device cools the walls of the cavity (3). The cavity (3) has an inclined surface (15) downwardly delimiting the cavity (3) so as to evacuate the target fluid, which condenses on contact with the cooled walls, under gravity towards a metal foil (4) which closes off this cavity (3). The inclined surface (15) intersects the plane formed by the metal foil (4), making an acute angle (a) with said plane, so as to form with the metal foil (4) a wedge-shaped zone (18) capable of collecting, by gravity, the condensed target fluid.
