METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE RADIOISOTOPE MOLYBDENUM-99

摘要

The invention relates to a technique for producing radioisotopes and can be used for manufacturing the radioisotope molybdenum-99 which serves as the basis for Мо-99/Тс-99m radioisotope generators, which have found broad application in nuclear medicine for diagnostic purposes. The proposed invention is based on the Szilard-Chalmers effect and is aimed at increasing the specific activity of radioactive molybdenum-99 to a value greater than 1000 Ci/g while making it possible to repeatedly use a molybdenum compound to prepare a target.
