Job description

  • Background of the recruitment and description of the project

    In the fast reactor cycle system research and development center, the research and development on the production of medical radioisotope (actiniumu-225) using the experimental fast reactor Joyo, have been conducting.

  • Work content and job description

    In this theme, the demonstration test, including chemical separation, extraction, adjust the irradiated target prior to irradiation and installation of analysis equipments, will be planned and executed and the licensing work to conduct the test will be done in Joyo, which is scheduled to restart operation in the middle of FY2026. In the post-irradiation chemical separation, extraction, and purification, examine extraction materials and separation conditions suitable for the production of radioisotopes (RIs) for medical use, will be planed and experimental studies for RI production will be proposed, and research on the production of RIs for medical use as raw materials for pharmaceuticals will be conducted. In addition, we will work on upgrading Joyo irradiation tests (mainly fuel irradiation, etc.) and developing and introducing related post-irradiation examination techniques.
