The Most Efficient Target Development to Increase the 99Mo Production Using the VVR-ts Reactor Core

Abstract

The article shows the possibility of increasing the 99Mo production using the modifyed target. It was shown that there is a significant reserve for increasing the production of the 99Mo isotope without a significant change in the core
