Use of molybdenite nanoparticles for photonuclear production of technetium-99m

The possibility production of ⁹⁹Mo radioisotope with using recoil nuclei of molybdenite nanoparticles from reaction ¹⁰⁰Mo(γ,n)⁹⁹Mo was investigated. The use of thermally stable molybdenite allows solving the problem of thermal loads of high-power electron beams. The enrichment of radioactive isotope...

Description
Summary:The possibility production of ⁹⁹Mo radioisotope with using recoil nuclei of molybdenite nanoparticles from reaction ¹⁰⁰Mo(γ,n)⁹⁹Mo was investigated. The use of thermally stable molybdenite allows solving the problem of thermal loads of high-power electron beams. The enrichment of radioactive isotopes carried out by the effect of SzilardChalmers. Molybdenite nanoparticles were irradiated by bremsstrahlung with Emax=39 MeV. The recoil nuclei of ⁹⁹Mo separated by electrolysis at low concentration. The yield of ⁹⁹Mo from extractable phase amounted 3% for size nanoparticles 350 nm.
