IThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences (iThemba LABS) is the largest multidisciplinary national research facility in South Africa and the largest accelerator facility in the southern hemisphere. Through the ambitious Long-Range Plan iThemba LABS elaborated in 2017, the nuclear physics research program and nuclear medicine activities are now set to greatly benefit from the South African Isotope Facility (SAIF) project when the laboratory -commissions the 70 MeV cyclotron for radioisotope production and research. The radioisotope division also uses proton beams from the 11 MeV cyclotron, shown in Figure 3, for the production of the radioisotope SP 18 sp F for supplying local nuclear medicine facilities for imaging purposes. AFRODITE is a -ray detector array of Compton suppressed HPGe Clover detectors that consisted of nine detectors until recently, when iThemba LABS embarked to expand the detection capabilities significantly.
