<p>This paper details the experimental development of a Cryogenic Tracer Irradiation Facility (CTIF) at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). UT Austin produces gaseous radiotracers with in-core facilities, but an ex-core facility is possible using a helium compressor to freeze the target. A sample of natural xenon was irradiated using this method. The neutron flux was calculated to be 5.13 ∗ 10¹¹ ± 3.94% neutrons/cm²/s for a reactor power of 900&#xa0;kW. Assuming a one-hour irradiation at the same reactor power with one liter at STP of ¹²⁶Xe, the CTIF produced 3.62 ∗ 10⁷ ± 3.94% Bq of ¹²⁷Xe at the end of irradiation. The production rate for xenon isotopes in the cryogenic irradiation facility in the reactor beam port is found to be approximately 10% of the reaction rate in the previously demonstrated in-core irradiation facility. The cryogenic facility will be an excellent candidate for producing radioxenon isotopes on the order of 100&#xa0;mCi (3.7 × 10⁹&#xa0;Bq), but will not match the production rate of the in-core production method. Placing such a facility in a beam port with a higher flux provides a promising path forward.</p>
