ABSTRACT
Gold activation foils were used in this work to measure thermal, epithermal and fast neutron fluxes in the 18F, 123I, (201Tl, 67Ga) production units in Syrian cyclotron. The neutron flux distribution around the targets were determined. It shows that, the maze thermalizes the fast neutrons and reduces the flux about four orders of magnitudes. The results can be adopted by medical centers to identify radioactive hot spots and develop radiation protection.
