Framatome, KHNP to investigate producing Lu-177 in South Korea
Framatome and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to explore the possibility of producing the medical isotope Lutetium-177 at KHNP’s Wolsong nuclear power plant in South Korea. The companies also will investigate the feasibility of using the plant to support Korean production of medical radioisotopes in the future.

The gamma radiation in the interaction of 14.9-MeV neutrons with a natural lead sample is investigated by the total gamma radiation measurement technique (TGRM). Forty-nine prompt gamma lines and 8 delayed gamma lines, which come from (n,n') and (n,2n) reactions of 206Pb, 207Pb, and 208Pb, are identified, and their differential production cross sections at 55, 90, and 140 deg are determined. Six mixed gamma-ray peaks are separated, and the production data of the prompt and delayed components are given separately. The production cross sections of three isomeric states (1013.7 keV, (13/2)+, 5.5 ms in 205mPb; 2200.2 keV, 7-, 124s in 206mPb; and 1633.3 keV, (13/2)+, 0.81s in 207mPb) are accurately determined. They are in good agreement with some recent experimental and theoretical results. This is the most successful example of applying TGRM in an (n,x) experimental study following after the aluminum study.
