Abstract

The paper deals with the development of the technetium sublimation generator based on PbO + MoO3 eutectic mixture to be used directly in centres of nuclear medicine. The generator offers approximately 5500 MBq99mTc on first exploitation day. The 99mTc yield is about 65%. The separation lasts 60 minutes at 680 °C temperature. Technetium is obtained in form of sodium pertechnetate in saline. The generator allows radioactivity of 99Mo of low specific activity to be processed.
