Abstract
A method of producing actinium by using liquefied radium includes producing Ac-225 using Ra-226 of a liquefied state, moving the produced Ac-225 in a liquefied state after Ac-225 is produced, and separating Ac-225 and reusing Ra-226. As a result, a nuclear reaction process of Ac-225 may be performed and loss of Ra-226 may be minimized. Further, such a method may improve safety by including a radon collection unit which is capable of discharging and isolating radon produced from Ra-226, thereby preventing radiation exposure due to radon.
