Abstract

Proton and deuteron-particle induced reactions on 122,123,124Te targets were evaluated for the production of 123I. The literature data were compared with nuclear model calculations using the codes TALYS-2.0 and EMPIRE-3.2.3 (Malta). The statistically evaluated excitation functions were generated- therefrom the integral yields of the 123I were calculated. The amounts of the radioactive impurities were assessed.
