摘要

Amongst the various radioisotopes of molybdenum, Mo-93m in its no-carrier added form might be a potential candidate radionuclide in the field of nuclear medicine due to its suitable half-life (T (1/2) = 6.85 h) and for its intense gamma line at 263.14 keV. Aim of the presented study is to compare the calculated cross sections for the production of Mo-93m incident proton energy up to 30 MeV, theoretical calculation of production yield and calculation of target thickness requirement. Also, deposition of (NbO2)-Nb-93 on Cu substrate was carried out via two special sedimentation methods for the production of Mo-93m and a simple and selective extraction of molybdenum was described.
