Radioisotopes can be produced by reactors and accelerators. For certain isotopes there could be an advantage to a certain production method. However, nowadays many reports suggest, that useful isotopes needed in medicine, industry and research could be produced efficiently and dependence on reactors using enriched U-235 may be eliminated. In my view reactors and accelerators will continue to play their role side by side in the supply of suitable and economical sources of isotopes.
放射性同位素可以通过反应堆和加速器来生产。对于某些特定的同位素，某种生产方法可能会有优势。然而，如今许多报告表明，医学、工业和研究所需的有用同位素可以通过高效的方式来生产，并且可以消除对使用浓缩铀-235的反应堆的依赖。在我看来，反应堆和加速器将继续在提供合适且经济的同位素来源方面发挥各自的作用。
