Abstract
Cu‐67 is considered as one of the most promising radioisotopes for cancer therapy with monoclonal antibodies. Current production schemes using high‐flux reactors and cyclotrons do not meet potential market need. In this paper we discuss Cu‐67 photonuclear production through the reaction Zn‐68(γ,p)Cu‐67. Computer simulations were done together with experiments to study and optimize Cu‐67 yield in natural Zn target. The data confirms that the photonuclear method has potential to produce large quantities of the isotope with sufficient purity to be used in medical field.
