a) Meta-Technetium-99 is a radioisotope commonly used in radiopharmaceutical applications. It is obtained from the decay of Molybdenum-99, which is itself produced artificially either by neutron bombardment of a target material or chemically separated from the products of uranium-235 fission. Describe the process by which meta- Technetium-99 may be isolated ready for incorporation into a radiopharmaceutical, starting with the two methods for obtaining Molybednum-99. a) Meta-Technetium-99 is a radioisotope commonly used in radiopharmaceutical applications.
