Abstract: An installation for obtaining isotopes using the intense internal beam of protons on the U-240 cyclotron has been developed. A target was designed to produce the 22Na isotope under difficult conditions of thermal and radiation loads in a limited space of the cyclotron accelerator chamber. Radiochemical isolation of the 22Na isotope was carried out.

Keywords: radionuclide, protons, target, irradiation, half-life period, gamma-ray energy, diffusion welding and radiation chemistry methods.
