Abstract

SUMMARY
177Lu is presently being considered as a potential radionuclide, for use in in-vivo targeted radiotherapy, owing to its favorable nuclear decay characteristics. This paper presents some research fi ndings on the ability to produce 177Lu on the IVV-9 research reactor with thermal neutron fl ux of 1.8×1013.cm-2.s-1 at the Nuclear Research
Institute to produce this radioactive isotope. Our products have specifi c activity of 17.7 mCi/mg Lu, radionuclide and radiochemical purities more than 99.9% of total radioactivity. Immediate products are used for the initial basic research of labeling capabilities with DOTATATE, and especially studying on the possibility preparing 177Lu-EDTMP used to treat pain palliation caused by bone metastases.
