Abstract
The radioactive wastes formed as a result of the production of 99mTc by the zirconium–molybdenum gel technology are studied. It is shown that high-activity isotopes are not formed when a MoO3 target is irradiated; there are no gaseous and solid wastes. The activity of the liquid wastes is due to spent 99Mo and short-lived 99mTc; after the 99Mo decays, they can be removed as ordinary water solutions. Therefore, this technology for obtaining 99mTc is waste-free from the standpoint of radiation.
