Oops!  A typo crept into my email; our method involves a (γ, alpha) reaction not a a (γ, n) reaction. It is correct in the White Paper.

I corrected the error below.

Sorry about that.

We have concluded that we have a viable process for producing Cu67 at a cost of $3.1K/mCi based on 10 runs per year, including onetime costs.  Our method is based on a (γ, alpha) reaction starting from Gallium as the target material.  We believe that the chemical separation of Cu67 should provide a significantly higher specific activity than other production methods.

Specifically, the VCU Center for Molecular Imaging, a group that has considerable expertise in chemical separation of isotopes, has agreed to partner with us for the proposed production runs.
