For the mass production of astatine-211, a promising radiopharmaceutical for cancer treatment, the National Institute for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology has proposed the innovative "Liquid Bismuth Target System." The target window in this system must be made from a material that resists the highly corrosive liquid bismuth environment. To meet this requirement, a promising target window material was selected in corrosion experiments performed in stagnant liquid bismuth. Based on knowledge of corrosion in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic gained during the development of fast reactors and accelerator-driven subcritical systems, experiments were carried out under saturated dissolved oxygen and low oxygen conditions, and the corrosion behaviors of the specimens were evaluated. The FeCrAl-alloy exhibited the most excellent corrosion resistance, followed by FeCrMo-alloy. Both materials are suitable candidates for the target window.

The radioisotopes of rhenium (
Re and Re) are attractive radionuclides for radiotherapy because of their energetic beta particles and gamma rays suitable for imaging. Mercaptoacetyltriglycine, MAG3 (N
S ligand), is a useful bifunctional ligand in labeling monoclonal antibodies with metallic radionuclides. In this study, the labeling of MAG3 with carrier-free Re from a W/Re generator was investigated in detail. The Re-MAG3 complex was synthesized by the direct labeling method and by the indirect labeling method using a transfer ligand (citric acid or gluconic acid). The dependence of the labeling yield upon the reaction conditions such as the concentrations of tin(II) chloride dihydrate as a reducing agent, S-benzoyl MAG3 and the transfer ligand, pH, temperature, reaction time and the addition of a carrier was examined. The labeling yield of Re-MAG3 synthesized by the all method was over 90% under the optimum conditions.

Times Cited Count：62 Percentile：86.83(Biochemical Research Methods)Rhenium-186-1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonate (Re-HEDP) has been used for the palliation of metastatic bone pain. Delayed blood clearance and high gastric uptake of radioactivity have been observed upon injection, due to the instability of Re-HEDP in vivo. In this study, on the basis of the concept of bifunctional radiopharmaceuticals, we designed a stable Re-mercaptoacetylglycylglycylglycine (MAG3) complex-conjugated bisphosphonate (Re-MAG3-HBP). After purification by HPLC, Re-MAG3-HBP was synthesized with a radiochemical purity of over 95%. In biodistribution experiments, the radioactivity level ofRe-MAG3-HBP in bone was significantly higher than that of Re-HEDP. Blood clearance of Re-MAG3-HBP was faster than that of Re-HEDP. In addition, the gastric accumulation of Re-MAG3-HBP radioactivity was lower than that of Re-HEDP. In conclusion, Re-MAG3-HBP is expected to be a useful radiopharmaceutical for the palliation of metastatic bone pain.

Radiopharmacies have been used in various medical diagnoses/therapies and their market has been growing by ten times in fifteen years. In particular, 
Tc has been widely used in gamma ray diagnoses. 
Mo, the raw material for Tc, is currently produced as a fission product by irradiating highly enriched uranium in nuclear reactors. Efforts are being made worldwide to reduce the use of uranium from the perspective of nuclear non-proliferation. A 
Mo(n,
)Mo reaction in low enriched uranium reactors can be an alternative method. In this research, we revealed that 
-MoO, a low-temperature phase of MoO, as a neutron irradiation target promotes the diffusion of Mo from the target to water due to the hot atom effect. Utilizing this phenomenon can contribute to the stable supply of Mo and Tc. The first nuclear reaction in/water dispersion experiments using an 
-MoO powder target was carried out in Dalat Nuclear Reactor, Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute to show the hot atom effect. Then, the water recovery efficiency was dramatically improved using a novel -MoO whisker target by Vietnamese students and staffs. Their contributions to this research will be explained in the presentation.
