Making99Mo in reactors

Conclusions This comparison of two ways of making⁹⁹Mo shows that there is good scope for making it in any area. If there is a thermal reactor having a high flux, one can make⁹⁹Mo from⁹⁸Mo, and in that case, even irradiation in a high flux makes it favorable to use highly enriched⁹⁸Mo and unblocked targets, which raises the specific activity and thus increases the working life in the^99mTc generator.If there is a thermal reactor with low flux or if there is a fast reactor it is best to make⁹⁹Mo from uranium fission products. The target can be highly enriched²³⁵U, which if necessary can be reused, or low-enriched uranium.There are no essential constraints on making⁹⁹Mo, and the production is mainly based on technological tasks.Translated from Atomnaya Énergiya, Vol. 67, No. 2, pp. 104–108, August, 1989.     

Human papillomavirus as an etiological factor in cervical cancer: significance for health care practice

The migration of substances from rubber packaging materials into drug products can be significant with certain packaging materials in contact with organic solvent systems. Recommendations for testing drug products for leachables are continually evolving to address new developments. Testing packaging materials using simulated solvents is not always an acceptable protocol for the pharmaceutical industry. We describe a rational strategy for evaluation of the drug product for packaging extractables. A profile of the extractables from rubber packaging materials was made with a range of organic solvents and stress conditions to provide information on substances to target in the drug product. The drug product was evaluated to determine if the matrix would cause interferences that might inhibit detection of the found extractables. Analytical methods were selected based on these findings. The procedures were validated according to FDA guidelines. A stability program using time and storage conditions as variables provided information for acceptance criteria. This same strategy can be used on other types of pharmaceuticals and packaging materials.     

Cyclic mode of neptunium, americium and curium transmutation in heavy-water reactor

Characteristics of process of transmutation of neptunium, americium and curium from spent nuclear fuel in heavy-water reactor during first 10 lifetimes and at transition to equilibrium mode are calculated. During transmutation, dangerous nuclides, first of all, ²⁴⁴Cm and ²³⁸Pu are accumulated. They cause an increase of radiotoxicity. At first 10 cycles of transmutation, the radiotoxicity is increased by 8.7 times in comparison with radiotoxicity of initial load of transmuted actinides. Heavy-water reactor with thermal power of 1000 MW can transmute neptunium, americium and curium extracted from 3.7 VVER-1000 type reactors. It means, that the required power of transmutation reactor makes about 8% of thermal power of VVER-1000 type reactors.

The effect of surface modification of vulcanized rubbers on the adhesive strength

Results of a study are reported on the utilization of ground vulcanizate, which is a waste product of rubber prcoessing plants. Loaded stocks of various commercial rubbers act as objects for the study. Talc, kaolin, silicon dioxide, and furnace carbon black are used as fillers. According to the results of a study on the effect of the amount of rubber crumb, an increase in the content of unmodified crumb leads to a decrease in tear resistance that is associated with poor wettability. To increase wettability, we use organosilicon couplings. It is shown that the addition of vulcanizate to rubber stocks, together with highly dispersed fillers treated with organosilicon couplings, leads to a significant increase in tear resistance and makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of production and utilization.
