Molybdenum transmutation via 98 Mo samples using bismuth/lead neutron moderators

Abstract: 99m Tc is the usual medical isotope for imaging in nuclear medicine. The use of accelerators to produce 99 Mo is an alternative to nuclear reactors. Here, the neutron production from a new neutron source is investigated to achieve a proper production yield. The induced neutron was simulated from 30 MeV protons on a beryllium target. The Adiabatic Resonance Crossing (ARC) method was evaluated using lead and bismuth moderators, and lead(II) fluoride reflector around a moderator region. The flux and energy of th… Show more

“…Some systems are used to monitor the radiation shielding efficiency [47, 48] or to measure the fast neutrons besides gamma rays [49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56]. In such systems, the use of nanomaterials against radiation would be preferable.…”

“…Base on the attenuation profiles of the various elements, the K absorption edge of lead (Z = 82) is 88 keV. Therefore, choosing lead as a filter in the desired energy range is a positive choice [27,28]. The attenuation coefficient of lead has been shown in Fig.…”
