مستخلص: No-carrier-added (NCA) 161 Tb, which has advisable nuclear properties to be applied for cancer radiotherapy was produced at the Egyptian Second Research Reactor (ETRR-2) by neutron irradiation of natural gadolinium target via indirect nuclear reaction. The radiochemical separation of 161 Tb from irradiated gadolinium target was investigated based on solvent extraction technique using Cyanex 302. Several separation parameters were checked and optimized. According to the obtained results, the separation process of the investigated radioisotopes proceeds in two steps. The first step is an extraction of all of them into the organic phase in which the extraction % (98 %) was optimized at pH 4, 0.15 M of Cyanex 302 and 2.5 h extraction time. Moreover, the slope analysis method confirmed the participation of 2 mol of the organic extractant for the separation of 161 Tb from irradiated gadolinium. The second step is the separation of the 161 Tb isotope that was purified by the stripping of 159Gd with a citrate solution at pH 9, which is considered as a highly efficient and promising method for separation and purification of the two radioisotopes.
