ABSTRACT

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is cooperating with the Argentine Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica (CNEA) to convert their ⁹⁹Mo production process, which uses high enriched uranium (HEU), to low-enriched uranium (LEU). Progress discussed in this year’s paper includes optimization of (1) the digestion of LEU foil by sodium hydroxide solution and (2) the primary recovery of molybdenum by anion exchange. Also discussed are ANL/CNEA plans for demonstrating the irradiation and digestion of LEU-foil targets and recovering ⁹⁹Mo in Argentina later this year. Our results show that, up to...
