Fig 2. Contribution towards the production of 166mHo from Ho and Dy isotopes as function of their concentration relative to 164Er.

Fig 2

Calculated for a 50 d irradiation in a thermal neutron flux of 1015 n cm-2 s-1. Calculations were performed using the ChainSolver code [20]. Ho and 164Dy come to lie nearly on the same line since under the given flux 164Dy proceeds via reaction 3 almost completely to 166mHo, only a minor fraction leads via double capture reactions to 166Dy(β-)166gHo.
