Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Northstar intends through this effort to complete scale-up production of Mo-99 via the electron accelerator irradiation process using enriched molybdenum-100 target material. This will be achieved by:
1) Initiating and bringing operational second and third buildings designed to house electron accelerators at the company's Beloit, WI site.
Additionally, Northstar will:
2) Install and bring operational two additional electron accelerator pairs to be used for Mo-99 production.
A further project objective is to:
3) Incorporate reclaiming enriched molybdenum-100 to the recovery and reclamation process from spent generator and processing material, allowing for significantly lower effective raw material costs of target material.
Lastly, Northstar will:
4) Acquire additional molybdenum-100 target material to accomplish all testing and scale-up needs.
