Abstract (en)

A method is described for the production of molybdenum-99 comprising the steps of providing a target comprising elements fissile under charged particle bombardment; and irradiating at least a portion of the target with accelerated charged particles to induce fission of said elements, thereby producing an irradiated target portion comprising molybdenum-99.
