Abstract

In the present paper, we mainly aim to extend nuclear data of production of radionuclide promethium-147 used in nuclear battery technology due to its weak experimental measurement and theoretical calculation. Therefore, the cross-section for charged particle induced reactions on Nd target is calculated, and moreover, the reaction processes are simulated by particle accelerator with the energy range \({\text{E}}_{\text{particle}} = 50 \to 5\) MeV and in the particle beam current of 20 mA to figure out yield, activity of reaction and integral yield. For a proper understanding of investigation, the obtained results are also discussed to determine the most suitable reaction and target material for the production of radionuclide promethium-147 via particle accelerator on the basis of process.
