super(99)Mo Separation from High-Concentration Irradiated Uranium Nitrate and Uranium Sulfate Solutions

We report separation data indicating that super(99)Mo can be separated from a vast excess of either uranyl sulfate or uranyl nitrate in irradiated dilute acid solutions. These results suggest that, if medical isotope super(99)Mo is produced during fission of high concentrations of low enriched urani...

Zusammenfassung:We report separation data indicating that super(99)Mo can be separated from a vast excess of either uranyl sulfate or uranyl nitrate in irradiated dilute acid solutions. These results suggest that, if medical isotope super(99)Mo is produced during fission of high concentrations of low enriched uranium sulfate solution fuel, it is feasible to both recover >90% of the super(99)Mo for further purification and the uranium for recycle.
