Description

Amongst the various radioisotopes of molybdenum, 93mMo in its no-carrier added form might be a potential candidate radionuclide in the field of nuclear medicine due to its suitable half-life (T1/2 = 6.85 h) and for its intense gamma line at 263.14 keV. Aim of the presented study is to compare the calculated cross sections for the production of 93mMo incident proton energy up to 30 MeV, theoretical calculation of production yield and calculation of target thickness requirement. Also, deposition of 93NbO2 on Cu substrate was carried out via two special sedimentation methods for the production of 93mMo and a simple and selective extraction of molybdenum was described.
