As a first step to produce Mo-99 in phase 2 of the Argonne Molybdenum Research Experiment (AMORE), we are performing a series of tests in which Mo-99 and natural Mo are added to a target vessel and the target solution is processed to recover Mo. This report describes a Mo-99 spike test with pH 1 sulfuric acid that was performed with an electron beam on a depleted uranium (DU) target.
