Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for making a radioisotope and a composition of matter including the radioisotope. The radioisotope is made by exposing a material to neutrons from a portable neutron source.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A composition of matter comprising a radioisotope composition, the radioisotope composition made according to a method comprising: obtaining an aqueous solution comprising an isotope composition that comprises 63 Cu and 65 Cu isotopes, where the isotope composition comprises copper phthalocyanine or copper salicylaldehyde o-phenylene diamine; placing the solution into a container; exposing the aqueous solution to neutrons from a portable neutron source by completely surrounding the portable neutron source with the isotope composition, the isotope composition reacting with the neutrons and transforming into the radioisotope composition, where the radioisotope composition comprises 63 Cu, 64 Cu and 65 Cu isotopes; and extracting the radioisotope composition from the aqueous solution when a desired amount of the 63 Cu isotope is converted to 64 Cu radioisotope. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the 64 Cu radioisotope is dispersed throughout a material. 3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the material has a geometrical shape.
