SPECACT, a Fortran program for the routine calculation of the specific activity of fission-produced Molybdenum-99
Description
The specific activity of 99Mo is an important factor in the production of 99Mo/Tc-99m generators, used in nuclear medicine. Molybdenum-99 formed via the fission route is not carrier free but is contaminated by a number of stable molybdenum isotopes formed concurrently during neutron irradiation of the uranium target. The specific activity of fission-based 99Mo is therefore a function of irradiation time and post-irradiation decay. A computer program, written in FORTRAN, is presented for defining routinely the specific activity of fission-based 99Mo
