چکیده
استفاده از نمک­های مذاب فلوراید اورانیوم-توریم در ترکیبات مختلف به طور گسترده­ای در راکتورهای نمک مذاب انجام شده است. در واقع یکی از مهمترین مزیت این نمک­های مذاب، دمای ذوب و جوش بسیار بالای آنها است. لذا استفاده از هدف­های نمک مذاب فلوراید اورانیوم می­تواند نیاز به انتقال حرارت را در سیستم­های تولید رادیوایزوتوپ توسط شتابدهنده برطرف سازد. لذا در این کار، بررسی اولیه استفاده از این نمک مذاب به عنوان ماده هدف در شتابدهنده سیکلوترون به منظور تولید رادیوایزوتوپها مختلف انجام گردید. از کد محاسباتی MCNPX و ALICE/ASH جهت محاسبات استفاده شد. نتایج حاصل از این کار نشان می­دهد. استفاده از این نمک های مذاب می تواند معضلات انتقال حرارت هدف و محدودیت اعمال جریان باریکه پروتونی بر ماده هدف را برطرف سازد. ضمن اینکه تولید و برداشت محصولات مختلف رادیوایزوتوپ را به طور همزمان فراهم می سازد. با بهینه کردن هندسه هدف می توان بهره تولید محصولات مختلف شکافت را در ماده نمک مذاب افزایش داد. همچنین استفاده از شتابدهنده می­تواند وابستگی تولید رادیوایزوتوپهای مورد استفاده پزشکی و صنعت را به راکتورهای هسته­ای کاهش دهد.

چکیده English

Fluoride Uranium-Thorium molten salts are widely used in the molten salt reactors in different compositions. The most important characteristic of the MSRs is high melting and boiling point. Therefore, the use of molten salt solution of uranium fluoride can eliminate the need for heat transfer in radioisotope production systems by accelerators. The initial study of the use of this molten salt as a target material in a cyclotron accelerator was carried out to generate various radioisotopes. We used MCNPX and ALICE/ASH. The results of this study show that the use of these molten salts can solve the problem of heat transfer and limit the application of proton beam flow on the target material. While also producing and harvesting various radioisotope products simultaneously.By optimizing the target geometry, we can increase the production rate of the different fission products in molten salt material. In addition, the use of accelerators can reduce the dependence of the production of radioisotopes used in medicine and industry to nuclear reactors.
