摘要

High specific activity Ba14CO3 was prepared by nuclear reaction 14N (n,p)14C in High Flux Engineering Test Reactor (HFETR). Regarding high-purity aluminum nitride (AlN) as target material, Ba14CO3 solid was prepared by a dry method extraction process after being irradiated for approximately 700 days under the condition of thermal neutron fluence rate about 1 × 1014 cm−2 s−1. In this study, the specific activity of produced Ba14CO3 was higher than 56 mCi/mmol, and the content of γ-impurity nuclides is less than 0.01%. Thus, it can be used for the preparation of various carbon-14 labeled compounds. This study can be a notable reference for large-scale preparation of Ba14CO3 with high specific activity.
