Is molybdenum-99 natural or synthetic?

About: Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) is a man-made radioactive isotope. Mo-99 does not occur in nature and has to be created through neutron bombardment of other radioactive materials (usually enriched uranium-235).

Why is molybdenum-99 important?

Mo-99s decay product, technetium-99m (Tc-99m), is used in over 40,000 medical procedures in the United States each day to diagnose heart disease and cancer, to study organ structure and function, and to perform other important medical applications.

How much does molybdenum-99 cost?

Assuming a specific activity for Mo-99 of 4.8 105 Ci/g, a curie of Mo-99 is worth about $96 and a 6-day curie is worth about $470. This selling price is just over twice the average cost of production that was estimated by the committee.

How is Mo-99 produced?

Mo-99 is produced in the uranium-bearing targets by irradiating them with thermal neutrons. Some of the U-235 nuclei absorb these neutrons, which can cause them to fission. The fission of the U-235 nucleus produces two but sometimes three lower-mass nuclei referred to as fission fragments.

How much does TC 99 cost?

Using current methods, technetium 99m costs about $20 to $25 per dose in North America. That is much lower than the true cost of production, in part because governments paid a large share for nuclear reactor fuel, waste handling and the original price of building the reactors themselves.

Which decay process could cause molybdenum-99 to decay to technetium 99?

Molybdenum-98 becomes molybdenum-99 when it captures a neutron. Molybdenum-99, with a half-life of 65.94 hours, decays into technetium -99 through beta decay.

What is the half-life of molybdenum-99?

Molybdenum-99 (99Mo, half-life = 66 h) is a parent radionuclide of a diagnostic nuclear isotope. It decays in technetium-99 m ( , half-life = 6 h), which is used in over 30 million procedures per year around the world.

Can you stockpile molybdenum-99?

Molybdenum-99 and technetium-99m are distributed through an international supply chain on a weekly or more frequent basis. Such speedy delivery is essential because molybdenum-99 and technetium-99m have short half-lives and therefore cannot be stockpiled.

How is Tc-99m produced?

Almost all of the Tc-99m used in nuclear medicine today is produced by radioactive decay of Mo-99. Mo-99 decays with about a 66-hour half-life by emitting a beta particle. About 88 percent of the decays produce Tc-99m via the pathway depicted in Figure 2.1.

How do you get Moly 99?

Mo-99 is produced in the uranium-bearing targets by irradiating them with thermal neutrons. Some of the U-235 nuclei absorb these neutrons, which can cause them to fission. The fission of the U-235 nucleus produces two but sometimes three lower-mass nuclei referred to as fission fragments.
