ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for containing and cooling enriched water for the production of activated fluorine (18F). A target assembly includes internal cooling channels in which developed flow of a coolant removes the heat from the target liquid in the target chamber. In one embodiment, the target assembly is fabricated of tantalum.
