The invention provides a compact high energy proton source useful for medical isotope production and for other applications including transmutation of nuclear waste. The invention further provides a device that can be used to generate high fluxes of isotropic neutrons by changing fuel types. The invention further provides an apparatus for the generation of isotopes including but not limited to 18 F, 11 C, 15 O, 63 Zn, 124 I, 133 Xe, 111 In, 125 I, 131 I, 99 Mo, and 13 N. |
