In this study, production cross–section calculations of 125Iradionuclide used in medicine produced by 123Sb (α,2n)125I, 124Te(d,n)125I, and 127 I(γ,2n)125I reactions have been investigated in the different incident energy range up to 40 MeV. Two–Component Exciton and Generalized Superfluid models of the TALYS 1.6 code and Exciton and Generalized Superfluid models of the EMPIRE 3.1 code have been used to perform calculations. The calculated results have been compared with the experimental results taken fromthe Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data Library (EXFOR). EMPIRE 3.1 Exciton and Generalized Superfluid models are recommended, if experimental production cross–section of 125Iradionuclide data are not available to produce because of the experimental difficulties}, number={2}, publisher={Süleyman Demirel University}
