A reverse 230 U/ 226 Th radionuclide generator for targeted alpha therapy applications

Thorium-226 (half-life 30.6 m) is a radionuclide of interest for use in targeted alpha therapy applications. Additionally, due to its short half-life, 226 Th must be provided through a radionuclide generator system from its parent 230 U (20.8 d). Furthermore, as the half-life of 226 Th is very short, it should be provided in a form that is directly amenable to use in biomedical applications.
