Abstrakt: In summary, we have proposed a new method for producing89Sr for medical purposes from natural yttrium according to the reaction ( n, p) in fast-neutron reactors. Investigations confirm the computational parameters of the production: from 2 to 15 mCi89Sr per gram of the starting yttrium. We have shown that90Sr can be extracted and the final product with the required radionuclide purity can be obtained. Commercial production of89Sr in BR-10 and BOR-60 has now started.
