For the first time, China has obtained kilograms of molybdenum isotopes, breaking import dependence.

Every AI news, on October 26, according to the news of CNNC, recently, the Nuclear Physics and Chemistry Institute/Company of CNNC obtained the molybdenum -100 isotope with 99% kilogram abundance for the first time through independent research and development. This is the first major breakthrough in China's autonomous supply of key molybdenum isotope materials, changing the long-standing situation that molybdenum isotopes are completely dependent on imports, and marking that China has reached the world's leading level in the field of high abundance stable isotope research, become one of the few countries in the world that can obtain molybdenum isotopes in bulk.
