Computational investigation of 99Mo, 89Sr, and 131I production rates in a subcritical UO2(NO3)2 aqueous solution reactor driven by a 30-MeV proton accelerator
The use of subcritical aqueous homogenous reactors driven by accelerators presents an attractive alternative for producing 99Mo. In this method, the medical isotope production system itself is used to extract 99Mo or other radioisotopes so that there is no need to irradiate common targets. In additi...
