Capabilities of the LVR-15 research reactor for production of medical and industrial radioisotopes

A typical reactor representing a flexible source of radionuclide production is the LVR-15. More detailed irradiation conditions available within one core configuration of this reactor will be provided. The most important parameter—neutron flux density in different energy intervals—will be determined experimentally by activation detectors and compared with calculated values. Experimental and calculated values will be used for the estimates of the radionuclide production in case of the selected radioisotopes.
