The KIVI Nuclear Engineering Department and the Netherlands Nuclear Society (NNS) invite you to the following Webinar:

New production methods for Molybdenum 99 and other medical radio isotopes

In recent years, the disrupted production of important medical radio isotopes such as Molybdenum 99 has regularly made the news. Radio isotopes play a very important role in nuclear medicine and it is therefore important to have a robust chain in place to ensure the supply of these isotopes.

A number of companies and institutes are currently working to develop and commission new production methods for Molybdenum 99 and other important medical radio isotopes.

The programme of this webinar is as follows:

15:30 IRE in Belgium is working on the development of a Molybdenum 99 production process based on an idea initially developed by ASML in Veldhoven. In this process, a free electron laser is used to produce the radio isotope Molybdenum 99 with a target of enriched Molybdenum 100.

16:15 At Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, much research is being done in the field of nuclear medicine. Prof Dr Erik Verburg of Erasmus explains what nuclear medicine is, which isotopes (will) play an important role in it and the effects of disturbed isotope production on healthcare.

17:00 End

In the near future, we plan to organise a second webinar or symposium in which even more new production methods for medical radioisotopes will be discussed.

Participation is free of charge.

Registration: via the KIVI website.
