Radiopharmaceuticals based on the ⁶⁷Cu isotope have found wide use in immunotherapy. The present paper analyzes the conditions of ⁶⁷Cu production by the ⁶⁸Zn(γ,p) ⁶⁷Cu reaction at an electron accelerator in relation to the target isotope and hot impurities yield, as well as the radiation risks. Cons...
