Abstract
Method of thin layer preparation for a radionuclide source comprising the following steps:deposition of a drop of a radionuclide dissolved in a solvent onto a on a support substrate,placing said support substrate with said drop in a confined space with a reduced pressure,directing at least one flow of a hot gas onto the drop,rotating the source relative to the hot gas jet creating turbulences inside the drop,evaporating the solvent and obtaining a thin layer of dry radionuclide.
