- Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the radionuclidic product profiles of the primary source Mo-sodium molybdate (MoO ) solution obtained after dissolution of nuclear reactor-irradiated sintered molybdenum discs with the profiles obtained for linear accelerator-irradiated discs. Radionuclidic analysis was performed by high-purity germanium γ-ray spectrometry. Samples were analyzed at multiple time points and radioactivity levels in order to observe short lived and low activity radionuclidic long-lived impurities. Results obtained showed that the radionuclidic profiles from the two technologies are consistent between samples, and are unique for either production technology.
