6. Products
We produce a wide range of radionuclides
as radiochemicals, gallium-68 generators
and various types of radiation sources.
Products of Cyclotron Co., Ltd. pass rigid
quality and safety control.
All sources are tested after manufacture
for an absence of the radioactive
contamination of the surface and a
leakage of the radioactive substance.
The Company's activities in the field of
industrial safety, labor and environmental
protection are carried out in strict
compliance with the federal legislation
and are an integral part of sustainable
development of the enterprise.
Radiation Control

7. The first cyclotron
The first cyclotron, U-150, accelerates protons to the energy of 20-23 MeV.
Average current of the internal beam on the target during irradiation is up to 1100
µA.
Nuclear reactions (p,2n), (p,pn), (p,2p) are used for the radionuclide production on
this facility.

8. The second cyclotron
The second cyclotron, RIC-14, accelerates protons to the energy of 14 MeV.
Average current of the internal beam on the target during irradiation reaches 2100
µA.
The (p,n)-nuclear reaction is used to produce the radionuclides on this accelerator.
