Description

2020 Mo-99 International Symposium

April 26-30, 2020 — InterContinental Prague Hotel, Prague, Czechia

Building a Global Partnership to Supply Medical Isotopes

without the use of Highly Enriched Uranium

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is pleased to announce that it will host a Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) International Symposium in Prague, Czechia at the InterContinental Prague Hotel from April 26-30, 2020. The Symposium will highlight global progress being made towards eliminating highly enriched uranium (HEU) from medical isotope production, showcase global non-HEU Mo-99 production technologies and provide a technical and policy forum for discussion of Mo-99 industry and supply issues.

The five-day event is being organized by the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and will include oral presentations of technical and policy papers, a poster session, and a technical tour of Research Reactor LVR-15, which provides irradiation services for Mo-99 producers. More information regarding DOE/NNSA’s Mo-99 program can be found at https://www.energy.gov/nnsa/nnsa-s-molybdenum-99-program-establishing-reliable-supply-mo-99-produced-without-highly.

NNSA invites interested stakeholders to register for this event and to submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation at the symposium in one of the following Mo-99-related topical areas:

  • International HEU Minimization and Conversion
  • Establishing Mo-99 Supplies in North America and Abroad
  • Regulatory Challenges and Lessons Learned
  • Full Cost Recovery Challenges and Lessons Learned
  • The End-User Perspective (Healthcare Organizations and Radiopharmacies)
  • The Clinical Perspective of Mo-99 and Tc-99m-based Radiopharmaceuticals
  • The Mo-99 Target Residue Waste Challenge
  • Bringing Mo-99 to Market: Lessons Learned
  • Security of Supply
  • Fission and Neutron Capture Production Technology Advances
  • Accelerator Production Technology Advances
  • Emerging Production Technologies and Capabilities
