Simulation of the liquid targets for molybdenum-99 production
Abstract
The efficiency of 99Mo nuclei trapping by clinoptilolite particles using Monte Carlo simulation was studied. The simulation showed the carrier particle traps almost all of the incident 99Mo nuclei for the photon energies 12-18 MeV. The ratio of the 99Mo nuclei reaching the carrier to the total number of 99Mo nuclei escaping the nanoparticle is below 1.5% in for the photon energies 12-18 MeV. High specific activity of produced 99Mo nuclide requires optimization of the clinoptilolite carrier particles concentration in the suspension.
