I think this is great and I like the idea of the small mass (especially <br>
if we are starting with the ultrapure target).<br>
My only question is: what is the potential market for this isotope? <br>
There is no point in making 200 mCi if you can only sell 10 mCi at a <br>
given point in time. I thought I had asked this question before and <br>
gotten an answer around 10 mCi but maybe I didn't state it clearly.<br>
If you had 200 mCi to sell would there be enough buyers?<br>

> If we take the smallest of these targets (~200g) and assume 20 hours of 50 kW beam (ignoring decay of Cu-67), we should produce ~200 mCi of Cu-67. This is roughly 260 nanograms, or 1.3 ppb of Cu-67 in our 200 g natural Ga target, which is greater than the
0.5 ppb of Cu content of 99.9999% Ga sample.<br>
