These isotopes are produced in (n, Y) nuclear reactions. They are of little importance.

8.6.15 Silver Isotopes

Ag-110 is produced from silver by the 109Ag(n, Y)110mAg!110Ag nuclear reaction and isomeric transition. The half-life of Ag-110 is 250 days, and it emits (3_ and gamma radiation. 110Ag is an important polluting isotope of nuclear reactors since the silver in solders is activated.

Ag-111: a carrier-free 111Ag isotope is obtained by the 110Pd(n, Y)111Pd nuclear reaction and the subsequent в -decay. Pd and Ag are separated by the electrolysis of the amine complexes. The half-life of 111Ag is 7.45 days, and it has в_ and gamma radiation.
