Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) is assisting the potential domestic producer, Morgridge Institute for Research (MIR), as part of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Global Threat Reduction Initiative’s (GTRI) program in the development of a Mo-99 production pathway that does not use high enriched uranium (HEU). In cooperation with its corporate partners, MIR is developing SHINE, which produces Mo-99 by neutron-induced fission of low enriched uranium (LEU) in a subcritical aqueous solution. MIR is considering aqueous uranyl sulfate at pH 1as the target solution.
