Simulation of vanadium-48 production using MCNPX code [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2012 Vanadium-48 was produced through the irradiation of the natural titanium target via the natTi(p, xn)48V reaction. The titanium target was irradiated at 1 mA current and by a 21 MeV proton beam for 4 hours. In this paper, the activity of 48V, 43Sc, and
