We are developing a $$^{211}$$Rn/$$^{211}$$At generator system to produce and deliver the medical radioisotope $$^{211}$$At. This study analyzed the dissolution of Rn in solution to investigate gas-phase recovery conditions of Rn in the $$^{211}$$Rn/$$^{211}$$At generator system. The dissolution of a Bi target in a nitric-hydrochloric acid mixture and subsequent neutralization has been shown to enhance the Rn recovery efficiency. The gas-phase Rn recovery rate reached 88%, while 50% of available At has been recovered, and further improvement can be expected in the future.
