Abstract
In 2020, the CC-30/15 cyclotron complex is planned to
be commissioned at the Institute for Nuclear
Technologyes of the Kingdom of Thailand. The main task
of the project is the development of nuclear medicine in
Thailand.
The complex is created on the basis of the cyclotron of
negative hydrogen and deuterium ions with finite energy
in the ranges 15-30/9-15 MeV and the current of the
extracted beam of 200/50 μA, respeМtively. A beam
transport system ensures the formation and delivery of
beams to five ports. Two of them are target devices
designed for large-scale production of radionuclides of
zirconium-89, copper-64, thallium-201 and gallium-67. A
pneumatic system for the installation, discharge and
delivery of targets to radiochemical laboratories is
provided. The remaining ports will be used in the program
of scientific research in the field of neutron physics and
radiation technologies.
The main equipment of the complex was developed;
production and factory testing should be completed in the
third quarter of 2019.
In September 2017, a project was launched to create a
modern nuclear physical center at the Institute of Nuclear
Technology of the Kingdom of Thailand (TINT). The
center is intended for large-scale production of
radionuclides and the implementation of a program of
scientific research in the field of neutron physics and
radiation technologies. The Center is based on the
cyclotron system CC-30/15 of JSC "NIIEFA". The system
includes the CC-30/15 cyclotron, the branched beam
transport system, the target complex, the system for
transporting irradiated targets to protective boxes of
radiochemical laboratories, the sample irradiation system
and support systems. The main parameters and
characteristics of the cyclotron system are presented
in Table 1.
