Abstract
Molybdenum-99 is one of the most important radionuclides in modem medicine. When loaded on a chromatographic column it forms a generator that produces high specific activity 99mTc, a radionuclide widely used in nuclear medical imaging. ANSTO has been a main producer of 99Mo in the Australasian region since the late 1960's and currently ranks as one of the major suppliers of 99mTc/99Mo generators. The dissolver off-gas released during the production process is monitored using a NaI(Tl) detector based gamma-ray spectrometer system that is interfaced to the internal computer network.
