At Oarai Research and Development Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) advances the plan of refurbishing Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) to start the operation in fiscal 2011. As part of effective use for JMTR, JAEA is planning to product $$^{99}$$Mo, which is a parent nuclide of $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc. $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc is most commonly used as a radiopharmaceutical in the field of nuclear medicine. Currently the supplying of $$^{99}$$Mo is only depend on imports from foreign countries, so JAEA is aiming at domestic production of a part of $$^{99}$$Mo in cooperation with the industrial circles. In this article, JAEA described the process, the choice and fabric of the irradiation facilities for $$^{99}$$Mo production, the technical study of commercializing equipment after irradiation, and the cost study for $$^{99}$$Mo production.
