It exploits a classified area for handling of highly radioactive open sources, a dedicated isotope separator beam line, a target irradiation station at the 1.4 GeV Proton Synchroton Booster (PSB) and receives activated targets from external institutes during CERN Long Shut-Downs. After collection, the batch is prepared to be dispatched to a research center. Since its commissioning in December 2017, the facility has provided novel radionuclides such as Ba-128, Tb-155, Sm-153, Tm-165 Ra-224/Pb-212 and Ra-225/Ac-225 with high specific activity, some for the first time, to research institutes part of the collaboration. CERN-MEDICIS has advanced significantly to reach mature processes to translate into clinical application for the most promising radionuclides.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2026-02-02}, publisher = {JACoW Publishing}, author = {{Bernerd,Cyril} and {Crepieux,Bernard} and {Duchemin,Charlotte} and {Elle,Manikanta} and {Gilardoni,Simone} and {Heinke,Reinhard} and {Kalnina,Patricija} and {Lambert,Laura} and {Mamis,Edgars} and {Mancheva,Ralitsa} and {Rossel,Ralf} and {Rothe,Sebastian} and {Stora,Thierry} and {Thiboud,Julien} and {Vollaire,Joachim}}, editor = {{Lin,Ming-Chyuan} and {Sato,Yoichi} and {Huang,Jui-Che} and {Button,David} and {Chuang,Ping-Shun}}, month = nov, year = {2025}, note = {Artwork Size: 1071-1074 pages, 0.73 MB ISBN: 9783954502486 Medium: PDF}, keywords = {Accelerator Physics, MC8.U04 - MC8.U04 Isotope Production, mc8-applications-of-accelerators-and-engagement-for-industry-and-society - MC8: Applications of Accelerators, and Engagement for Industry and Society, scientific-publication}, pages = {1071--1074 pages, 0.73 MB}, }
