What is Depleted Zinc 64 (Zn64)?
Depleted Zinc 64 (Zn-64) refers to a specific isotope of zinc, where the abundance of the Zn-64 isotope has been significantly reduced below its natural level. It is primarily used in the nuclear power industry as a corrosion inhibitor in reactor cooling water.

What are applications of Depleted Zinc 64 (Zn64) ?
Depleted Zinc 64 (Zn64), specifically zinc depleted in the isotope 64Zn, is primarily used as a corrosion inhibitor in nuclear power plants, particularly in the cooling water systems of boiling water reactors (BWRs) and pressurized water reactors (PWRs). This application stems from its ability to reduce the formation of radioactive isotopes like 65Zn and 60Co within the reactor, thus lowering radiation exposure for plant personnel and reducing the overall level of radioactive waste.
-
Corrosion Inhibition in Nuclear Reactors:Depleted zinc, often in the form of zinc acetate dihydrate or zinc oxide , is added to the reactor’s primary cooling water.
-
Reducing Radioactive Material Formation:
The isotope 64Zn, when bombarded with neutrons in the reactor, transforms into radioactive 65Zn. By reducing the amount of 64Zn present, the formation of 65Zn is significantly lessened.
-
Reduced Radiation Exposure:
The reduced formation of radioactive isotopes like 65Zn and 60Co, which can accumulate in the reactor’s cooling system and on its internal components, helps to lower radiation exposure for plant workers during maintenance and operation.
-
Other Zinc Isotopes:
While depleted zinc-64 is used for corrosion control, other zinc isotopes have specific applications. For example, 66Zn can be used to produce the PET isotope 66Ga, and 67Zn is used in nutritional and biological research, as well as for the production of isotopes like 67Ga and 67Cu. 68Zn is used as a precursor for the radiopharmaceutical isotope 67Ga.
-
Industrial Applications:Zinc itself has various industrial uses, including galvanizing (coating steel to prevent rust), creating alloys (like brass and bronze), and in die-casting.
