<br/><br/> 89Zr is that positron emitting radionuclide which is produced via low energy cyclotron. It is<br/>increasing in popularity day by day as a radiolabel for positron emission tomography (PET).<br/>Due to its half-life (3.27 days), it is suitable for cancer imaging.<br/>Out of 75 reactions, total six reactions were selected through EXFOR to achieve the<br/>favorable production route for 89Zr. The evaluation methodology had performed for 89Y(p,n)<br/>89Zr, 89Y(d,2n) 89Zr, 89Y(α,x) 89Zr, 86Sr(α,n)89Zr ,87Sr(α,2n)89Zr and 88Sr(α,3n) 89Zr reactions<br/>to obtain the recommended cross section values. The recommended curve for each<br/>production route was calculated on the basis of nuclear model codes {EMPIRE (version<br/>3.2.2 Malta), ALICE-IPPE, TALYS & TENDL-2015} and confidence limit of experimental<br/>data. Normalization of experimental data was done on the basis of monitoring and decay<br/>data characteristics.<br/>After analyzing some weak limitations and checking the reliability of the data, we found that<br/>the 89Y (p,n) 89Zr was the best production route for 89Zr because it can easily produce by<br/>low energy cyclotrons.
