Other Radioisotopes

➢ Canada produces dozens of other isotopes for medical and

industrial applications

➢ Most important of these is Molybdenum 99 ➢ Produced by radioactive fission and decay of U235 ➢ Mo-99 decays to Technicium 99 ➢ All Mo-99 produced among a small number of research

reactors around the world

➢ NRU ceased production of Mo-99 in 2018 ➢ New methods of production using particle accelerators
