Abstract:
99Mo is the main raw material of 99Mo-99Tcm generator,its production stability directly determines the supply of 99Tcm.There exists very limited number of irradiation and processing facilities for fission 99Mo all over the world and most of them are aging.Different facets of problems are emerging,such as those related to supply chain withdrawal,reaction target changes,and maintenance shutdowns.This paper focuses on the discussion of the current supply status of fission 99Mo worldwide,its related problems and possible solutions offered by the corresponding agencies of different countries,operational parties,and the authors themselves.
