A solid target system for the radionuclide preparation, including a cassette, an ejection sub-system, a laser radar positioning sub-system, a cooling sub-system and a control cabinet. The cassette includes a solid target component for the nuclide preparation and a shielding box. The ejection sub-system is configured to eject the cassette to a recovery hole after the nuclide preparation is completed. The laser radar positioning sub-system is arranged above the ejection sub-system, and is electrically connected to the control cabinet. Both sides of the cassette are each provided with the cooling sub-system for cooling down the solid target component. The control cabinet is electrically connected to a direct-current servo motor for controlling an operating state thereof.
