The article presents methods for obtaining sulfur-35 radionuclide without a carrier from neutron-irradiated potassium chloride, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, and carbon tetrachloride. The methods of irradiation of targets from chlorine-containing compounds with thermal neutrons in the vertical channel of the WWR-SM reactor, methods of processing irradiated targets, and the extraction of sulfur-35 without a carrier are presented. The highest yield of sulfur-35 activity per 1 g of chlorine-containing compound (3.312 Ci/g) is achieved by irradiating CCl4 targets under the following conditions: thermal neutron flux density is 1·1014 n/cm2sec, irradiation time is 2000 hours, nominal reactor power is 10 MW, and irradiation of a quartz ampoule with the target in a vertical reactor channel with mandatory cooling of the target with running first loop water. The isolation of sulfur-35 without a carrier from irradiated carbon tetrachloride was carried out using the water extraction method, which is the simplest and does not require complex radiotechnological operations.
