Molybdenum-99 is used for preparing 99mTc, which is the most widely used isotope in nuclear medicine. As a recent and now shortages in reactor-based supplies of 99Mo/99mTc and also some problems due to the time limitation in a direct production approach such as 100Mo(p, 2n)99mTc reaction by cyclotrons, many of developed countries have started the plan to produce this type of radioisotopes based on the production of non-reactor methods, especially by linac. In this study, the investigation on 99Mo production based on high power electron linac as an alternative approach has been performed, in which the use of 100Mo(gamma, n)99Mo (photoneutron production) has been proposed.
