Description

In early 1961 a Target Fabrication Center was established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to carry out the routine preparation of a wide variety of targets and to provide research and development support to the target program. Although most of the effort concerned enriched stable isotopes, both normal and radioactive materials are also handled. With the aid of rolling mills, resistance-heat and electron-bombardment vacuum evaporation, presses, and electroplating equipment, targets of elements and compounds are prepared which cover a broad range of thicknesses and sizes, in both supported and self-supporting forms. Thicknesses vary from a few micro-inches to dimensions limited … continued below

Thicknesses vary from a few micro-inches to dimensions limited in many cases only by the amount of material available. Although there are certain limitations imposed by the chemical reactivity, the development effort is supporting targets of most elements and compounds.
