Abstract
A method of isolatingMo produced using a (n,γ) reaction according to example embodiments may include vaporizing a source compound containingMo andMo. The vaporized source compound may be ionized to form ions containingMo andMo. The ions may be separated to isolate the ions containingMo. The isolated ions containingMo may be collected with a collector. Accordingly, the isolatedMo may have a relatively high specific radioactivity and, in turn, may be used to produce the diagnostic radioisotope,Tc, through radioactive decay.
