Astatine-211 is one of the promising alpha-emitting radionuclides for the targeted alpha therapy (TAT), internal radiotherapy using alpha-emitting radioisotopes. At-211 is basically produced by irradiating He beams with 28–29 MeV to a bismuth (Bi) target. Irradiations with high beam current (µA order) are necessary to produce At-211 for preclinical and clinical studies because they require its radioactivity on the order of subGBq to GBq. Low melting point of Bi (273.1°C) often causes melting of the Bi during irradiation with high beam current. The aim of this study is therefore to optimize irradiation condition without observing Bi melting.
