The electrochemical deposition of <strong>90</strong> Y was very fast when the strontium<br />

carrier was not added. Approximately 99% of <strong>90</strong> Y deposition yield was achieved<br />

in 20 min. Table 4.2 shows that the <strong>90</strong> Sr contamination in <strong>90</strong> Y was more than the<br />

acceptable limit (20 μCi of <strong>90</strong> Sr in 1.0 Ci of <strong>90</strong> Y).<br />

2 0.30 84<br />

3 0.50 <strong>90</strong><br />
