Conversion from high-enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU) targets for the Mo-99 production requires certain modifications of the target design, the digestion and the purification processes. ANL is assisting the Argentine Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica (CNEA) to overcome all the concerns caused by the conversion to LEU foil targets. A new digester with stirring system has been successfully applied for the digestion of the low burn-up U foil targets in KMnO4 alkaline media. In this paper, we report the progress on the development of the digestion procedure with stirring focusing on the minimization of the liquid radioactive waste.
