PROCESS FOR PRODUCING RADIOACTIVE MOLYBDENUM

摘要

An efficient manufacturing method of not using the uranium as a raw material is provided as a method of manufacturing radioactive molybdenum 99 Mo which is parent nuclide of radioactive technetium ( 99m Tc) which is a radioactive diagnosis medicine. 99 Mo is manufactured efficiently by irradiating neutrons to the Mo solution in which Mo compound is dissolved in water in an irradiation capsule set up in the core of a nuclear reactor, generating 99 Mo by 98 Mo(n, ³) reaction, and by collecting the Mo solution in continuous or batch processing.
