High-Power Two-Pass Superconducting Electron Linac for Medical Radioisotope Production | |
|
||
| Advances in niobium cavity resonator design and small helium refrigerators have made superconducting RF linacs have an industrial technology for low-cost, high-power electron beams. These beams are being used to produce high-flux bremsstrahlung x-ray and neutron sources for commercial applications, particularly for the production of medically-relevant radioisotopes. This contribution will cover recent developments in commercial superconducting accelerator technology including thermionic cathode electron guns, superconducting cryomodules, achromatic beamline arcs, helium cryocoolers, microwave sources, and target stations for the production of medical and industrial isotopes including molybdenum-99 without high-enriched uranium and actinium-225 from radium. These accelerators span the energy range from 10-40 MeV and average beam power for larger systems under development reaches 200 kW. | ||
