Fission spectrum averaged cross section measurements of some neutron threshold reactions of relevance to medical radionuclide production

A resume is given of radiochemical measurements of nuclear reaction cross sections relevant to the production of some medically important radionuclides carried out at PINSTECH during the last decade. Systematic studies onfission neutron spectrum averaged cross sections of several threshold reactions, like (n, 2n), (n, p) and (n, a), on titanium, ruthenium, europium and dysprosium for the production of 4 5 Ti, 9 6 Tc, 1 5 3 Sm and 1 5 3 Gd are described.
