Abstract:</tt> <br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Technetium-99m
is the most widely used radionuclide in medicine
worldwide. Historically this isotope has been
produced via fission of uranium-235 in a small
number of research reactors. These reactors are
showing their age (all >45 years) as indicated by
prolong shutdowns over the past few years. In an
attempt develop alternative methods for the
production of Mo-99 and Tc-99m the Government of
Canada has funded multiple projects aimed at making
use of electron and proton machines for the
production of medical isotopes. A description of
these approaches will be provided including recent
results.</span><br>
