PRODUCTION OF THE RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES IN THE INSTITUTE "BORIS KIDRIC," VINCA

Yugoslavia will start producing sulfur-35, iodine-131, phosphorus-32, gold-198, iridium-193, and cobalt-60 in 1961 with their new 16 Mev cyclotron at Zagreb and their new reactor with the rated output of 6.5 Mev at Vinca. The reactor is composed of 43 vertical radiation channels having diameters of 50, 100, and 110 mm. The medium flux is 10/sup 13/ n/cm/sup 2/ sec. A new radiation laboratory being built will permit more isotope production. Radiation limitations are also discussed for the reactor. (N.W.R.)
