Adriano Duatti (International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA))19/09/2011, 08:30Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistryoral presentationProgress in nuclear medicine has been always closely connected to the availability of a variety of radionuclides having both suitable decay characteristics and chemical properties to allow the development of useful diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Since there’s no ‘universal’ radionuclide capable to cover all clinical needs and imaging applications, nuclear medicine still relies on the...Go to contribution page

Dr Andrea Salvini (Università di Pavia)19/09/2011, 09:10Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistryoral presentationThe Tc99m is wide used in the world for SPECT diagnostic and its importance is great. In this scenario Italy isn’t different and the lack of production for this isotope suggest to investigate other way to achieve the needs satisfaction. Starting from well known production method by activation, the Laboratory of Nuclear Energy Applied (LENA) of the University of Pavia have developed the method...Go to contribution page

Dr Moumita Maiti (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics)19/09/2011, 09:30Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistryoral presentationThe mandate of green chemistry is to search newer methods, benign to the environment and Earth, in every sphere of chemical applications. The nuclear and radioanalytical chemistry is no way exception from this mandate. In this paper we present the development of a benign method for separation of 97Ru, a potential candidate radionuclide in the field of nuclear medicine from 12C induced Y target...Go to contribution page

Dr Ondrej Lebeda (Nuclear Physics Institute AS CR, p.r.i.)19/09/2011, 09:45Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistryoral presentationCross-section data on proton-induced reactions on natural neodymium are almost entirely missing. The data are of interest for testing predictivity of the nuclear reaction model codes, some of the activation products might have potential in nuclear medicine application, and last, but not least, rate of production of the longer-lived radionuclides is needed for estimating possible disturbing...Go to contribution page

Amit Kumar (Radiochemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre)19/09/2011, 10:00Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistryoral presentationStudy of reactions involving incomplete mass transfer has been an active area of investigation in heavy ion reactions at low and medium energies. Entrance channel parameters, namely, projectile energy and entrance channel mass asymmetry are important in governing the contribution from different types of reactions involving incomplete mass transfer such as quasi-elastic transfer, massive...Go to contribution page

Suparna Sodaye (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre)19/09/2011, 10:15Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistryoral presentationFission of heavier actinides and trans-actinides through heavy ion reactions is currently an active area of study to investigate contribution from non compound nucleus fission. In addition, there is a contribution from transfer induced fission. In the present work, mass distributions of the fission products produced in 20Ne + 232Th have been measured at Elab=115 and 145 MeV. Self supporting...Go to contribution page
