The presented paper discusses the production of radioactive ion beams of francium, radium, and actinium from thick uranium carbide (UCx ) targets at ISOLDE, CERN. This study focuses on the release curves and extractable yields of francium, radium and actinium isotopes. The ion source temperature was varied in order to study the relative contributions of surface and laser ionization to the production of the actinium ion beams. The experimental results are presented in the form of release parameters. Representative extractable yields per μ C are presented for 222−231Ac, several Ra and Fr isotopes in the mass ranges 214
