Methods for Production of Medical Radioisotope 99Mo
99mTc, as the decay daughter of 99Mo, is the most frequently used radionuclide in nuclear medicine. The usage of 99Mo is not less than 70% of that of the all radioisotopes. The methods for 99Mo production by nuclear reactors, accelerators and neutron generators were studied. Here, based on the inves...

| Summary: | 99mTc, as the decay daughter of 99Mo, is the most frequently used radionuclide in nuclear medicine. The usage of 99Mo is not less than 70% of that of the all radioisotopes. The methods for 99Mo production by nuclear reactors, accelerators and neutron generators were studied. Here, based on the investigated literatures, methods for 99Mo production had been analyzed with an emphasis on 99Mo production extracted from 235U fission products with high enriched uranium (HEU) or low enriched uranium (LEU) target. Due to the recently rapid development of methods for 99Mo production by accelerators and neutron generators, the achieved progresses were reviewed in this respect. In the present paper, some advices were also given for further exploration. |
