Abstract
Some formulae have been derived for the handy calculation of the formation of radioisotope when a reactor is operated regularly on a usual on-off pattern. In particular, the case of isotope production with the present operation condition of tile Korean reactor, which is in operation for 8.2 hours from Monday to Thursday and is not operated on friday and Sunday but is back in operation on Saturday only for 3.2 hours, is discussed herein with special emphasis. Should there be no secondary nuclear reaction resulting in the transformation of produced nuclide, the formula for the calculation of its activity could be derived as follows: (equation omitted) where A: activity (dps),
