Possible routes for the production of 82Sr
| Reaction | Target material | Projectile energy (MeV) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 89Y (p, spallation) 82Sr | Yttrium oxide | 60-240 | Low radiopurity & yield |
| NatMo (p, spallation) 82Sr | Molybdenum metal | 500-700 | Low radiopurity, high cost |
| NatRb (p, xn) 82Sr | RbCl or Rb metal | 40-90 | Preferred |
| NatKr (α, pxn) 82Sr | Kr gas | 20-120 | Low radiopurity, low yield, little availability |
| NatKr (3He, xn) | Kr gas | 20-90 | Low radiopurity, low yield, very little availability |
