基于FLUKA蒙卡程序模拟放射性核素68Ge生产的产额研究

Study on Simulation of the Yields of Radionuclide 68Ge Based on FLUKA Monte Carlo Code

  • 摘要: 为了开展Ge-Ga发生器技术研究,需要开展68Ge生产小试实验。本研究基于FLUKA蒙卡程序模拟了医用放射性核素68Ga的母体核素68Ge的生产,计算了14、30、70 MeV质子束分别在100、200、500 μA束流强度下照射富集69Ga的镓金属靶1、12、24 h后68Ge的EOB(end of bombardment)产额,并对产额的变化以及靶上放射性核素活度进行分析。30 MeV/500 μA质子束打靶24 h后68Ge核素的EOB产额为3.13×1010 Bq,与70 MeV/500 μA质子束的4.54×1010 Bq相当,但是靶上放射性杂质核素较少,30 MeV质子回旋加速器投入产出效益高。通过研究确定68Ge核素生产的质子能量选择为30 MeV,可为68Ge的生产小试实验及批量生产提供理论依据和技术支持。

     

    Abstract: With the development of nuclear science and technology, the application of PET medical radionuclides is increasing, and the demand is increasing. But the Ge-Ga generators used to provide 68Ga medical radionuclide are all dependent on imports. In order to carry out the research of Ge-Ga generator technology, we will carry out the pilot experiments of 68Ge production.In the study, the simulated production of medical radionuclide 68Ge based on FLUKA Monte Carlo program. The end of bombardment (EOB) yields of 68Ge with 100 μA, 200 μA and 500 μA beam intensity were calculated by 14 MeV, 30 MeV and 70 MeV proton beams irradiating Ga targets enriched with 69Ga for 1 hour, 12 hours and 24 hours, respectively. The changes of EOB yields and the activity of radionuclides on the targets were analyzed. After 24 hours irradiation by 30 MeV/500 μA proton beam, the EOB yield of 68Ge nuclide is 3.13×1010 Bq, which is similar to the EOB yield with 24 hours irradiation by 70 MeV/500 μA proton beam, which is 4.54×1010 Bq. There are fewer radioactive impurities on the target and higher input and output benefit with 30 MeV proton beams. Therefore, the proton energy for 68Ge nuclide production is 30 MeV. The research could provide some theoretical basis and support for 68Ge production pilot experiment and mass production.
