Problems in clinical practice of domestic supply of $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{rm 99m}$$Tc; Development of $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{rm 99m}$$Tc production using accelerator neutrons

Nagai, Yasuki

A new method was proposed to produce $$^{99}$$Mo by the $$^{100}$$Mo(n,2n)$$^{99}$$Mo reaction using intense neutrons from an accelerator by us. About 20% of the demand of $$^{99}$$Mo in Japan could be obtained constantly by the proposed method. In fact, we have shown that the produced $$^{99}$$Mo contained very little RI impurity and the radionuclide purity of $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc separated from $$^{99}$$Mo by sublimation and the labeling efficiency of $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc-MDP exceed the United States Pharmacopeia requirements for a fission product, $$^{99}$$Mo. We expect that the present $$^{99}$$Mo production method will be accepted worldwide to ensure the constant domestic supply of $$^{99}$$Mo.
