Abstract

A process for producing the stable isotope, xenon-128, has been developed and demonstrated by Douglas United Nuclear, Inc. Neutron irradiation of elemental iodine produces 128Xe vhich is separated and recovered in a vacuum system utilizing cryogenic techniques.Approximately 212 standard milliliters of l28Xe was produced from U50 grams of iodine irradiated to a neutron fluence of 5.4 x 1020 n/cm2.Purity of the 128Xe gas is 99.8 percent.' 4 •; i> -.v'T.: ....
