Accelerated ion beams can be regarded as a highly versatile multi-tool extremely useful to date artefacts, clean-up air, detect and remove tumours, sanitise sewage, improve microprocessors, transmute nuclear waste, detect a counterfeit, manufacture cutting-edge materials or even look into the stars. The history of particle accelerators at the "Horia Hulubei" National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering - IFIN-HH started in '50s with the installation of a U-120 cyclotron, followed by the commissioning of the 7.5 MV FN Tandem machine in 1973. Nowadays we proudly operate 3 electrostatic accelerators and a TR-19 cyclotron that are equipped to tackle a broad range of applications, but also for fundamental research.

With the advent of low cost single board computers and micro controllers it is possible to design, easily build and program small synthesis modules. The use of modern controllers can also give a second life to older modules and to main components such as HPLCs, heaters and syringe actuators.

14:35 - 14:55
During almost half a century of operation, the U-120M cyclotron has undergone a number of upgrades and improvements that have enabled the development and production of the most common radiopharmaceuticals on a daily basis. The transfer of routine production to the dedicated TR-24 cyclotron enabled a long-term shutdown and major improvement of the U-120M cyclotron. In addition to the progress in beam extraction, the results achieved in the development of pulsed beams, neutron sources and target technologies will be presented.

52Mn and 165Er production, last developments
- Isidro da Silva (CNRS Orleans, France)
15:35 - 15:55
At Orleans, proton and alpha production of 52Mn will be presented . Separation of 52Mn from V 52Mn (proton beam was done and AMA has been established (results on progress). Relative to 165Er, some parameters have a crucial impact on AMA value. Its production is one. The radiochemical separation is another. In order to improve the separation factor between Ho and Er, mesoporous carbon support have been tested and compared with Triskem resin. Behaviors of resin are different ever functionalized with same molecules.
