[en] Even since its creation in 1950, the Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica (CNEA) pays special attention to the development of activities related to the production of radioisotopes, ionising radiations and its applications, promoting producing and supporting them. In 1953, with the installation of an Crockroft-Walton electrostatic accelerator and in 1954 whit the acquisition of an synchrocyclotron, CNEA started early in the production of radioisotopes. After that, with the installation of the RA-1 and RA-3 research reactors baby cyclotrons and processing plants, CNEA complete and complement all infrastructure dedicated to production activities. In this sense, in 1994 a Cyclotron Facility for radioisotope production started its operations at Ezeiza Atomic Center. The cyclotron installed is a isochronous, negative ion, CP-42 accelerator, mainly used for the production of short and medium half life radioisotopes for nuclear medicine. With the object of covering the local demand of these radioisotopes some improvements were made in the cyclotron in order to increase the beam current. Finally, a brief description of the processes for the production of Tl-201, FDG (F-18) and I-123 is made. (author)

[en] Solid targets development aims to obtain large quantities of radionuclides from accelerators. 201Tl is the most used radioisotope in nuclear medicine, which is produced in cyclotron. The scope of the research was to test another procedure of Tl-201 production as an alternative of the precipitation and extraction method used at present. Utilization of ionic exchange resins was studied. Pd-103 is increasingly used in brachytherapy seeds. A high current solid target technique for cyclotron irradiation of electroplated metals was developed to produce Tl-201 and Pd-103. The design of the solid target set up and different procedures to obtain Pd-103 for seeds applications are presented. (author)
