摘要
237U was produced by the reaction 238U(γ, n) on an electron accelerator, MT-25 microtron, at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions. For the separation of 237U and [238U, the recoil nuclei were collected by a nanostructured material, hydrated manganese dioxide (of the cryptomelane type), in the solid-solid system. From fission products, 237U was separated by ion exchange. The specific activity of the resulting 237U was 4.5 × 109 Bq (mg 238U)-1, with the content of radioactive impurities of ≤10-6 Bq Bq-1. The chemical yield of 237U was 80%. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
