The worldwide supply of
99 Mo isotopes now encounters a serious crisis due to difficulties in sustainable production by research nuclear reactors. We report the experimental data for the99m Tc and impurity isotopes produced via thenat Mo(γ, n) reaction with bremsstrahlung γ-rays generated using a 30 MeV electron beam. The supply feasibility of99m Tc isotopes via thenat Mo(γ, n) reaction is discussed on the basis of the obtained data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
