Popis: Short-lived radioactive isotopes (SLRs) with half-lives between 0.1 to 100 Myr can be used to probe the origin of the Solar System. In this work, we examine the core-collapse supernovae production of the 15 SLRs produced: $^{26}$Al, $^{36}$Cl, $^{41}$Ca, $^{53}$Mn, $^{60}$Fe, $^{92}$Nb, $^{97}$Tc, $^{98}$Tc, $^{107}$Pd, $^{126}$Sn, $^{129}$I, $^{135}$Cs, $^{146}$Sm, $^{182}$Hf, and $^{205}$Pb. We probe the impact of the uncertainties of the core-collapse explosion mechanism by examining a collection of 62 core-collapse models with initial masses of 15, 20, and 25M$_{\odot}$, explosion energies between 3.4$\times$10$^{50}$ and 1.8$\times$10$^{52}$ ergs and compact remnant masses between 1.5M$_{\odot}$and 4.89M$_{\odot}$. We identify the impact of both explosion energy and remnant mass on the final yields of the SLRs. Isotopes produced within the innermost regions of the star, such as $^{92}$Nb and $^{97}$Tc, are the most affected by the remnant mass, $^{92}$Nb varying by five orders of magnitude. Isotopes synthesised primarily in explosive C-burning and explosive He-burning, such as $^{60}$Fe, are most affected by explosion energies. $^{60}$Fe increases by two orders of magnitude from the lowest to the highest explosion energy in the 15M$_{\odot}$model. The final yield of each examined SLR is used to compare to literature models.
