About this event
Conventionally, medical isotopes are produced in old nuclear reactors. In the framework of the SMART project of IRE, Demcon designs the heart of the factory for a ground-breaking alternative production method (the LightHouse technology). For this new method, a target is irradiated with a 3MW electron beam and extracted to produce the medical isotope Mo-99.
Such a large and complicated factory is in general hard to realize without a proper demonstrator. We will show how a proof of principle setup is built, that shoots a 30 kW electron beam onto a very small liquid metal-cooled target. With this extreme power density, we broke the world record.
The speakers will be: Yves Lenaerts and Gerard Oosterwegel
We will start at 12:02pm on June 13 2022
