Annual dynamics of 99Mo activity in molten salt and cumulative extraction quantity: (a) E_e=40 MeV, (b) E_e=80 MeV.

Caption

At electron beam energies of 40 MeV and 80 MeV, a single system’s maximum annual 99Mo production reaches 1764.86 Ci and 4486.49 Ci, meeting clinical diagnostic demands ranging from several hundred thousand to one million procedures. This technology is feasible with large-scale application potential.
