Development of a Short-Lived Radioisotope Production Service (SRPS) for CTTC at the University of Alberta SLOWPOKE Reactor Facility
Abstract
An integral feature of the radiological training facility at Counter Terrorism Training Centre (CTTC), Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Suffield is the capability to work with unsealed radioactive chemical compounds (primarily in liquid form). The preferred radioisotopes for such work this are those with short half-lives in a form that is, of course, water-soluble. During the course of the NATO Exercise Prototype Response at Suffield, DRDC Ottawa used three such radioisotopes (24Na, 42K and 64Cu) in mCi quantities that were produced at the University of Alberta SLOWPOKE Facility. For CTTC work activities of the order of up to 100 mCi are envisaged. A facility to do this on a routine basis is needed. This contract will achieve this design, and perform a rough costing.
