$$^{rm 99m}$$Tc (technetium-99m) is the most widely used radioisotope in radiopharmaceutical and is decayed from the parent nuclide $$^{99}$$Mo (molybdenum-99). Most of $$^{99}$$Mo is generated as one of the fission products of uranium, but recently, from the viewpoint of nuclear security and nuclear nonproliferation, a uranium-free $$^{99}$$Mo production method is desired. One such method is the (n,$$gamma$$) method, in which $$^{98}$$Mo is irradiated by neutrons. However, since the specific activity of $$^{99}$$Mo produced by this method is extremely low, it is necessary to improve the Mo adsorption and $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc elution property of alumina (Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$), which is used as a Mo adsorbent, to apply this method to the $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{rm 99m}$$Tc generator, a device for separation and concentration of $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc from $$^{99}$$Mo. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to elucidate the parameters effective for improving the performance of alumina for the practical use of the $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{rm 99m}$$Tc generator using the (n,$$gamma$$) method, and to contribute to the development of alumina columns that may be applicable to low specific activity $$^{99}$$Mo. In this study, alumina with different starting materials was prepared and its applicability as Mo adsorbent for $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{rm 99m}$$Tc generator was evaluated. The effects of crystal structure and specific surface area of alumina on Mo adsorption properties were clarified, and the Mo adsorption mechanism was elucidated based on the results of surface analysis of alumina. In addition, $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc elution properties and $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc solution quality were evaluated using MoO$$_{3}$$ irradiated in the Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR), and a new column shape with potential application to generators was proposed based on the experiment results of alumina columns designed for current generators.

Fujita, Yoshitaka; Seki, Misaki; Sano, Tadafumi*; Fujihara, Yasuyuki*; Suzuki, Tatsuya*; Yoshinaga, Hisao*; Hori, Junichi*; Suematsu, Hisayuki*; Tsuchiya, Kunihiko

Technetium-99m ($$^{rm 99m}$$Tc), the daughter nuclide of Molybdenum-99 ($$^{99}$$Mo), is the most commonly used radioisotope in radiopharmaceuticals. The research and development (R&D) for the production of $$^{99}$$Mo by the neutron activation method ((n, $$gamma$$) method) has been carried out from viewpoints of no-proliferation and nuclear security, etc. Since the specific activity of $$^{99}$$Mo produced by the (n, $$gamma$$) method is extremely low, developing Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ with a large Mo adsorption capacity is necessary to adapt (n, $$gamma$$)$$^{99}$$Mo to the generator. In this study, three kinds of Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ specimens with different raw materials were prepared and compared their adaptability to generators by static and dynamic adsorption. MoO$$_{3}$$ pellet pieces (1.5g) were irradiated with 5 MW for 20 min in the Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR). Irradiated MoO$$_{3}$$ pellet pieces were dissolved in 6M-NaOH aq. In dynamic adsorption, 1 g of Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ was filled into a PFA tube ($$phi$$1.59 mm). The $$^{99}$$Mo adsorption capacity of Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ specimens under dynamic condition was slightly reduced compared to that under static condition. The $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc elution rate was about 100% at 1.5 mL of milking in dynamic adsorption, while it was around 56-87% in static adsorption. The $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{rm 99m}$$Tc ratio of dynamic condition was greatly reduced compared to that of static condition. Therefore, the $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc elution property is greatly affected by the method of adsorbing Mo, e.g., the column shape, the linear flow rate, etc.

Development of fundamental technologies for domestic production of medical radioisotope (technetium-99m); The First and second phase report (FY2014-2020)

Project 6 Meeting Members for Tsukuba International Strategic Zone

In December 2011, the Prime Minister designated Tsukuba and some areas in Ibaraki Prefecture as "Comprehensive Special Zones". In the Tsukuba International Strategic Zone, nine advanced research and development (R&D) projects are underway with the goal of promoting industrialization of life innovation and green innovation utilizing the science and technology in Tsukuba. In these projects, the domestic production of medical radioisotope (Technetium-99m, $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc) was certified as a new project in October 2013, and R&D have been performed in collaboration with related organizations with Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) as the project leader. Japan is the third largest consumer of molybdenum-99 ($$^{99}$$Mo) after the United States and Europe, and all $$^{99}$$Mo are imported. Supply will be insufficient if overseas reactors are shut down due to trouble or if transportation (air and land transportations) is stopped due to volcanic eruptions and some accidents. Thus, early domestic production of $$^{99}$$Mo is strongly required. This project is a technology development aimed at domestic production of $$^{99}$$Mo, which is a raw material of $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc used as a diagnostic agent. This report summarizes the activities carried out in the first and second phase of the domestic production of medical radioisotope ($$^{rm 99m}$$Tc) (here referred to as the "Project 6") in Tsukuba International Strategic Zone (FY2014-2020).

We prepared three types of Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ with different surface structures and investigated $$^{99}$$Mo-adsorption/$$^{99m}$$Tc-elution properties using [$$^{99}$$Mo]MoO$$_{3}$$ that was irradiated in the Kyoto University Research Reactor. Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ adsorbed [$$^{99}$$Mo]molybdate ions in solutions at different pH; the lower was the pH, the higher was the Mo-adsorption capacity of Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$. The $$^{99m}$$Tc-elution properties of molybdate ion adsorbed Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ were elucidated by flowing saline. Consequently, it was suggested that $$^{99}$$Mo-adsorption/desorption properties are affected by the specific surface of Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ and $$^{99m}$$Tc-elution properties are affected by the crystal structure of Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$.

The effective utilization of various biomolecules for creating a series of mesoporous boehmite ($$gamma$$-AlOOH) and gamma-alumina ($$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$) nanosheets with unique hierarchical multilayered structures is demonstrated. The nature and concentration of the biomolecules strongly influence the degree of the crystallinity, the morphology, and the textural properties of the resulting $$gamma$$-AlOOH and $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ nanosheets, allowing for easy tuning. The hierarchical $$gamma$$-AlOOH and $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ multilayered nanosheets synthesized by using biomolecules exhibit enhanced crystallinity, improved particle separation, and well-defined multilayered structures compared to those obtained without biomolecules. More impressively, these $$gamma$$-AlOOH and $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ nanosheets possess high surface areas up to 425 and 371 m$$^{2}$$/g, respectively, due to their mesoporous nature and hierarchical multilayered structure. When employed for molybdenum adsorption toward medical radioisotope production, the hierarchical $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ multilayered nanosheets exhibit Mo adsorption capacities of 33.1$$sim$$40.8mg-Mo/g.
