Popis: We report separation data indicating that 99Mo can be separated from a vast excess of either uranyl sulfate or uranyl nitrate in irradiated dilute acid solutions. These results suggest that, if medical isotope 99Mo is produced during fission of high concentrations of low enriched uranium sulfate solution fuel, it is feasible to both recover >90% of the 99Mo for further purification and the uranium for recycle.
