New data for the $^\mbox{nat}$V(p,x) reactions have been measured in range 26-70 MeV, with production of nuclides $^{47}$Sc, $^{43}$Sc, $^{44m}$Sc, $^{44g}$Sc, $^{46}$Sc, $^{48}$Sc, $^{42}$K, $^{43}$K, $^{48}$V, $^{48}$Cr, $^{49}$Cr, and $^{51}$Cr. The focus is on a $\beta^-$-emitter suitable innovative radiotheranostic applications nuclear medicine. cross sections this radionuclide its contaminants are compared theoretical excitation functions calculated TALYS code. In view novel radiopharmaceutical applications, it essential to accurately describe these cross-sections evaluation yields, purities, dose releases. Hence, we optimize level-density parameters microscopic models code obtain best possible descriptions new data. We consider different irradiation conditions estimate yields from determined work.
