Description

Characteristics of the highly-enriched uranium targets of two types and irradiation tools currently used at JSC 'SSC RIAR' to accumulate fission 99Mo are described. The parameters for 99Mo accumulation in the pool-type reactors are presented. Studies have been performed on possibility to convert 99Mo production to low-enriched uranium using the existing type targets. It is shown that at the achieved fuel density values of 99Mo accumulation yield decreases approximately by two times
