Abstract

A method of producing radionuclides includes installation, irradiation, transport, and trapping steps. In the installation step, a target material containing a target nuclide is placed inside a target chamber. In the irradiation step, at least a portion of the target material is irradiated with a quantum beam. In the transport stage, a carrier gas is supplied to the inside of the target chamber and an ambient gas around the target material is sent to the outside of the target chamber through an exhaust pipe. In the trapping step, a trap device connected to the exhaust pipe is configured to trap the radionuclides produced from the target nuclide from the ambient gas. In some cases, a target holding device for quantum beam irradiation comprising a target material container and a rotational drive mechanism is also provided, as well as a quantum beam irradiation system. An example target material container is rotatable.
