Popis: The problem of uranium regeneration from uranium-containing residues after irradiating a uranium target and isolating from it 99Mo for use in nuclear medicine is considered. It is shown to be possible to produce 99Mo of quality required for charging a 99mTc generator from the regenerated 235U. The service characteristics of the 99mTc generator based on secondary 99Mo fully meet the Technical Specifications for the standard 99mTc generator, and the quantitative characteristics of sodium pertechnetate meet the requirements of Russian and international pharmacopoeias.
