F-18 production



If anyone has any information or fingers to point me in the right direction
for the following problem, please do so:

I am looking for some detailed information about the production of F-18 from
irradiation of Li2CO3. Currently, the reaction that I know of is as follows:

Li-6 (n , alpha) H3(tritium) with a Q-value of 4.78 MeV; the tritons emitted
in the process produce F-18 following the O-16 (3H, n)F-18 reaction.
