A radioisotope production apparatus includes: a linear accelerator for
accelerating an ion beam and irradiating a target with the ion beam,
radio frequency power supplies for supplying radio frequency waves
through coaxial tubes and the linear accelerator, a target shield member
containing the target, a first radiation shield member covering the
linear accelerator, and a movable second radiation shield member covering
the side of target shield member of the linear accelerator between the
first radiation shield member and the target shield member. The first
radiation shield member is movably divided in opposite directions,
respectively, of the axial direction of the linear accelerator from the
base point of the connection point of the coaxial tube connected to the
linear accelerator.
