An apparatus for producing a radionuclide includes a target chamber, a particle beam source operatively aligned with the target chamber, and a regenerative turbine pump for circulating a target fluid through the target chamber via first and second liquid transports. During bombardment of the target liquid in the target chamber by the particle beam source, the target liquid is prevented from reaching vaporization due to the elevated pressure within the target chamber and/or the rapid flow rate through the target chamber. A cooling system can be provided to circulate coolant to the first and second liquid transport conduits, the target chamber and the pump to ensure that the target liquid is cooled upon recirculation back into the target chamber.

L'invention concerne un appareil de production d'un nucléide radioactif comprenant une enceinte de cible, une source de faisceau de particules aligné avec l'enceinte de cible, et une pompe à turbine de recirculation permettant de faire circuler un fluide cible dans l'enceinte de cible via des transports primaire et secondaire de liquide. Lors du bombardement du liquide cible dans l'enceinte de cible par la source de faisceau de particules, le liquide cible ne peut atteindre l'état de vaporisation en raison de la pression élevée à l'intérieur de l'enceint de cible et/ou du débit élevé régnant dans l'enceinte. Il est possible de mettre en place un système de refroidissement afin de faire circuler un agent de refroidissement sur les premier et second conduits de transport de liquide, l'enceinte de cible et la pompe afin d'assurer que le liquide retournant dans l'enceinte de cible est préalablement refroidi.
