Reach the world's leading level China obtained the first kilogram molybdenum isotope
2023-10-26
Recently, the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry/Company of China National Nuclear Corporation 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 the independent supply of key materials in my country, which has changed the long-term dependence on imports of molybdenum isotopes. It marks that my country has reached the world's leading level in the field of high-abundance stable isotope research and has become one of the few countries in the world that can obtain molybdenum isotopes in the world.
Molybdenum (Mo) isotopes have broad application prospects in nuclear medicine, basic physics, advanced nuclear fuel and other research fields. In order to meet the needs of the domestic market and solve the long-term dependence on imports of molybdenum isotope materials, the scientific research team of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry/Company of CNNC, based on nearly 30 years of continuous research and development experience, boldly innovated, broke through the key technologies in the isotope separation process, filled the gaps in this technical field in China, and laid a solid foundation for protecting people's health, promoting scientific and technological progress and improving nuclear power safety.
