The world is currently suffering from a severe shortage of Mo and various R&Ds have been given for its availability. The only but critical shortage of (n,)Mo is its extremely low specific activity, which gives inconveniency in the extraction of Tc and is consequently converted to additional cost. Potential technologies which make the (n,)Mo competitive by reducing the additional cost are already available. Because Japan and Korea import all Mo from long distance, the cost benefit of local (n,)Mo production in these countries is especially large. In this report, we studied feasibility of the mass (n,)Mo production from viewpoints of global and regional status of Mo demand and supply, competitiveness with other production methods, requirements and flow of the Mo, production capability, cost, convenience in usage, and alternative technologies to overcome its shortage.

After the feasibility study on Mo production by (n,) method at HANARO was published by a KAERI report, worldwide supply of Mo became worse and a need for early available alternative Mo became stronger. Previous study indicated that the (n,)Mo has a potential to be an alternative mass Mo available earlier than those by any other methods. It can be realized when radioisotope industry of each country accepts the use of (n,)Mo for a meaningful portion of national demand. A good backup supply system among high flux reactors in the region is a prerequisite to guarantee a stable and sufficient availability of the (n,)Mo for the region, for which active collaboration among reactors is essential. As the initial stage of collaboration between HANARO and JMTR for the (n,)Mo supply, the specific experience and Mo production capability in HANARO have been discussed and revisited on the base of the previous report.
