From December 9 to 12, 2024, a delegation from QST (National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, Japan) visited the Department of Nuclear Chemistry at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague. The delegation included Dr. Kotaro Nagatsu, Dr. Tatsuya Higashi, and Mr. Jun Ichinose. During their visit, joint interests…
Nanoparticles of various materials were proposed as carriers of nuclides in targeted alpha particle therapy to at least partially eliminate the nuclear recoil effect causing the unwanted release of radioactive progeny originating in nuclear decay series of so-called in vivo generators. Here, we report on the study of 211Pb and…
