TARGET MANUFACTURE FOR IRRADIATION IN REACTOR Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: nuclear engineering; storage and conversion of chemical elements as result of chemical reactions. SUBSTANCE: mixture of source element being irradiated and matrix powder is produced by adding acid solution of element being irradiated to matrix powder. Then mixture is stirred and calcined until oxide coatings of irradiated element are produced on matrix powder surface. After that compound obtained is introduced in target body and sealed. Quartz crystal sand may be used as matrix powder. EFFECT: facilitated target manufacture. 1 dwg
