Laser isotope separation used when working on radioactive materials both for isotope separation and enrichment, and for cleaning surface contamination of radioactive materials, has comparable technological methods of exposure to laser radiation on a vaporized material with a radioactive component. The paper proposes an approach based on the principles of operation of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator with the addition of gold nanoparticles to a mixture in the working area and the use of an additional laser exposure to irradiation of combustion products, including a copper vapor pumping laser, to solve the problem of producing 103Pd for medical purposes. In light of the technological process peculiarities, the MHD generator ensures a significant increase in the temperature mode, entailing a change in the conventional material for the walls of the combustion chamber and the electrodes of the device to solve the task. Upon completion of the research part and based on experimental results, the authors will develop the first prototype of the installation as a whole.
