Cut View of NEMO C11 target, water cooled body, isolation foil is Helium
cooled. New C11 gas target
made on Jan /2007 at University Of buffalo.
many feature were though to bring the best yield while low maintenance as possible.
if any maintenance shall be quick to reduce the body dose exposure.
a micro controller and software was also developed to conduct the load and dump radio active gas to the hotcell. LAB.
