Technological aspects of 99 Mo production from 235 U at the VVR-ts nuclear reactor are considered. The nuclear target design with which the formation of liquid and solid wastes is reduced to a minimum and the forced system for cooling of nuclear targets in experimental channels of the nuclear reactor are reported. Schemes of 99 Mo isolation from 235 U fission products and of 235 U regeneration after 99 Mo isolation are described. The 99 Mo and, correspondingly, 99m Tc produced from the regenerated 235 U fully meet the technical specification and pharmacopoeial monograph for sodium pertechnetate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
