We have for the first time succeeded to separate Tc from a Mo oxide sample irradiated by accelerator neutrons, and to formulate Tc-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-MDP). Mo, the mother nuclide of Tc, was produced by the Mo(,2)Mo reaction using about 14 MeV neutrons provided at the Fusion Neutronics Source of Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The Tc was separated from Mo by the sublimation method, and its radionuclide purity was confirmed to be higher than 99.99%. The labeling efficiency of Tc-MDP was shown to be higher than 99%. These values exceed the United States Pharmacopeia requirements for a fission product, Mo. Consequently, a Tc radiopharmaceutical preparation formed by using the mentioned Mo can be a promising substitute for the fission product Mo. A longstanding problem to ensure a reliable and constant supply of Mo in Japan can be partially mitigated.

In order to improve ductility loss by helium embrittlement (or grain boundary embrittlement) induced under high temperature and neutron irradiation dose in nickel alloys which are expected to have high-temperature phase stability under non-irradiation, the grain boundary engineering was applied for NIMONIC PE16 to enhance the grain boundary strength. And, its high temperature tensile properties under non-irradiation were investigated as the first approach. As a result, the temperature dependence of the yield stress in the grain boundary engineered (GBE) PE16 was similar to that in NIMINIC PE16, but the yield stress was slightly lower and the uniform elongation was slightly higher at each temperature in GBE PE16 comparing to NIMINIC PE16. This would be caused by grain coarsening due to some heat treatments. If the gain size of GBE PE16 is optimized, tensile properties of GBE PE16 would be the same or more than that of NIMONIC PE16.
