This study obtains a suitable reaction to produce ⁸⁶Y. The ⁸⁶Y excitation functions via ⁸⁶Sr(p,n)⁸⁶Y, ⁸⁶Sr(d,2n)⁸⁶Y, ⁸⁵Rb(³He,2n) ⁸⁶Y and ⁸⁵Rb(α,3n)⁸⁶Y reactions were calculated by TALYS-1.0 code and compared with the reported measurement. Requisite thickness of targets was obtained by SRIM code for each reaction. The ⁸⁶Y production yield was evaluated with attention to excitation function and stopping power. The ⁸⁶Sr(p,n)⁸⁶Y reaction was determined as most interesting one due to its highest production yield and advantages to get high radionuclide and radiochemical purity.
