Abstract

A process is taught for production of Mo-99 from uranium-235 and for managing waste produced therefrom. The process includes separation of the Mo-99 from irradiated uranium and solidification of the waste remaining after such separation. Because of the great reduction in the amounts of waste produced fromthe process over previous methods, the process is of particular use in the large-scale production of Mo-99. Further, the present process results in a reduced process time over previous processes and thereby offers a reduction in the loss of Mo-99 by decay.
