At the centre of ATG are our three cyclotrons. They provide the flexibility and redundacy to meet the isotope production requirements of BWXT and their customers.
![]() | CP42 The oldest cyclotron at ATG is the CP42. Manufactured by The Cyclotron Corporation in Berkely, California, it was installed at TRIUMF in 1982. CP42 is capable of producing a 200 µA proton beam current at energies ranging from 15-42 MeV. |
TR30-1 The production capability of ATG was increased in 1990 with the installation of our first TR30 cyclotron, now called TR30-1. Designed by TRIUMF and built by EBCO (now Advanced Cyclotron Systems) the TR30 cyclotrons are able to produce 1 mA of beam at energies from 15-30 MeV. | |
TR30-2 ATG's next expansion came in 2001 with the installation of TR30-2, a refinement of the original TR30 design also built by ASCI. Among several operational improvements is an increase in beam current to 1.2 mA. |
