A performance evaluation of (n, γ)99Mo/99mTc generators produced by using PZC materials and irradiated natural molybdenum

Description

Several previous works have shown that PZC (Poly Zirconium Compound) materials as a molybdenum adsorbent afford a promising prospect for the future production of (n, γ)99Mo/99mTc Generators loaded with irradiated natural molybdenum. This paper evaluates the performance of the (n, γ)99Mo/99mTc Generators loaded with the high activity molybdenum (190 - 350 mCi, 0.71 Ci/g Mo - 1.31 Ci/g Mo). The performance parameters concerned are the 99mTc yields, molybdenum breakthrough, and elution profiles. The evaluation will be emphasized on the effects of the use of NaOCl as an oxidizing agent in a saline elution solution and the use of a zirconium solution in the washing step. Preliminary experimental results of dry-bed system generators will also be mentioned. (author)
