A new scheme of short-lived radioisotope (RI) supply for fundamental research in a wide variety of scientific field was started in 2016 under the framework of cooperation among accelerator facilities at RCNP, RIBF, CYRIC and ELPH. The project aims at promoting cutting-edge research supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) by supplying a short-lived RI which is hard to obtain commercially. A research proposal requiring a short-lived RI is collected twice a year and one of accelerator facilities supplies the short-lived RI for the approved proposal according to the user’s requirement. This platform provides technical support for RI treatment and gives beginners an opportunity to learn safe handling of RIs as well.
