Experimental investigations have been carried out on the production of a promising therapeutic radionuclide ⁶⁷Cu via the ⁶⁷Zn(n,p)⁶⁷Cu, ⁶⁸Zn(n,x)⁶⁷Cu, and ⁶⁸Zn(γ,p)⁶⁷Cu reaction routes. Natural zinc metal foils were irradiated with 14.1 MeV neutrons and bremsstrahlung of end-point energy 15 MeV. Radioactivity levels of ⁶⁷Cu and other radioisotopes co-produced were determined by the quantification of photo-peaks by off-line γ-ray spectrometry. No carrier added ⁶⁷Cu was separated from the irradiated zinc by solvent extraction. Yields >90 % and high levels of radionuclidic purity were achieved. These studies indicate that the growth and development of intense fast neutron sources and photonuclear technology, will possibly aid in the sustained supply of ⁶⁷Cu.
