Using Monte Carlo Calculation for Molybdenum-99 Production by Electron Accelerator

Abstract

The most widely used isotope for medical imaging is Technetium-99m. The purpose of the research was to propose the architecture of solution for Technetium-99m Production by Linear Electron Accelerator (LINAC) and Rhodotron. This radionuclide Technetium-99m is produced via Molybdenum-99 beta minus decay. The Monte Carlo calculations were used for this purpose on the base of MCNPX framework. These calculations provide an advanced analysis of the various modes which will result in optimal design. We intend to use the simulation and the code calculation based on Monte Carlo.
