Experience in the production of 99Mo from low enriched uranium at the VVR-ts research nuclear facility

The key industrial method for producing 99Mo is production of the radionuclide as one of the 235U fission fragments. 235U is irradiated with neutrons in a nuclear reactor (both heterogeneous and homogeneous nuclear reactors can be used) and then processed in radiochemical laboratories, where 99Mo is...
