Summary

A target system for the production of /sup 18/F by proton bombardment of H/sub 2//sup 18/O was designed for the ORNL 86-inch cyclotron facility. The system consists of concentric titanium and aluminum cylinders. Oxygen-18-enriched H/sub 2/O circulates through the inner titanium cylinder and through an external heat exchanger with cooling water flowing in the annulus. Yields of 5.0 curies are expected for a 250-..mu..A proton beam current and 24-min irradiation time.
