Tc is used as a radiopharmaceutical and manufactured from the parent nuclide of Mo. Extraction method of Tc from (n, ) Mo have been developed, as a part of the industrial use expansion after JMTR will re-start. In this research, the method proposed would be applicable to a practical production of Tc obtained from (n, ) Mo in large quantities.

Tc, a daughter nuclide of Mo, is commonly used as a radiopharmaceutical. In case of Japan, all of Mo are imported from foreign countries. R&D for domestic production of Mo by the (n, ) method has been being performed in JMTR from viewpoints of nuclear proliferation resistance and waste management. In this study, experiments of Mo/Tc production were performed to enhance recovery yields of Tc. High-density MoO pellets were irradiated in the Kyoto University Reactor (KUR). Solvent extraction method with MEK was used to extract Tc from Mo/Tc solution and the maximum recovery yields as high as 80% was achieved. Quality tests were performed, and impurities in Tc solution were evaluated and were efficiently low. It is concluded that Tc solution produced by this method is suitable for a raw material of radiopharmaceutical.
