The present paper addresses eight possible routes of producing Mo, and discusses both yield and Mo specific activities (SA) in the context of anticipated worldwide demand. Target dimensions are modelled by considering both limits set by cooling and by inside-target radiation attenuation characteristics. Energy deposition profiles are set up by MCNP6, reaction probabilities are taken from TALYS/TENDL and JANIS codes, and both are used in arriving at the produced Mo. The outcomes suggest that U neutron-fission may remain one of the most relevant and efficient means of producing Mo at the world-demand level, but that within this domain new developments may surface, such as ADSR or AHR production modes. Accelerator-based Mo production is discussed as asking for developments in both target cooling and new concepts in post-EOB upgrading of Mo SA, and/or new concepts for Mo/Tc-generators, the latter possibly in both volumes (mass) and Mo capacities.
