A 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics Model Validation for Candidate Molybdenum-99 Target Geometry
… means for producing the critical medical isotope molybdenum-99 (99Mo) without using highly enriched uranium (HEU). 99Mo is the parent product of technetium\xad99m (99mTc), a radioisotope used in approximately 50,000 medical diagnostic tests per day in the U.S. The primary uses of this product …

Thermal-hydraulic optimization for high production of low-enriched uranium based molybdenum-99
… more than 20 million samples of technetium-99 are used annually to diagnose many different forms of cancer. Despite this, there are only four main nuclear reactors worldwide that produce molybdenum-99, the parent isotope of technetium-99m. In an attempt to address the growing demand, as well …

Thermal-mechanical analysis of targets for high volume production of molybdenum-99 using low-enriched uranium
Techenetium-99m is diagnostic radioactive medical isotope that is currently used 30,000 times a day in the United States. All supplies of techenetium-99m's parent isotope molybdenum-99 currently originate from nuclear reactor facilities located in foreign countries and use highly enriched uranium …

Development of a 37-element fuel bundle for the production of molybdenum-99 in CANDU power reactors.
… of CANDU power reactors for the production of Mo-99 is assessed. Five different modifications of a 37-element fuel bundle that could be used for the production of Mo-99 in existing CANDU type power reactors are explored. Since Mo-99 is generated by the fission of U-235 with a fission yield of …

Neutronic characterization of a Molybdenum-99-producing CANDU fuel bundle and implications for reactivity-device worth and refuelling strategies
… potentially produce significant quantities of Molybdenum-99 due to their ability to be refuelled online, high thermal neutron flux and fuel-design flexibility. A Molybdenum-producing bundle (MPB) has previously been designed for that purpose and shown to be equivalent to the standard CANDU …

Competition in the radioisotopes market: evaluation and analysis of drivers which affect mo-99 market share
… the market share of radioisotopes, particularly Molybdenum 99 (Mo-99), the most widely used radioisotope in medical procedures. Radioisotopes are safe radioactive substances used globally primarily for diagnosing and treating medical conditions (e.g. oncology, cardiology, thyroid disorders, and …
