Tobiasz Zawistowski, a student of RadFarm interdisciplinary doctoral studies, is developing an experimental station for the production of molybdenum-99 electron beam from a linear accelerator at the National Center for Nuclear Research (NCBJ).

Molybdenum-99, which undergoes nuclear decay to technetium-99m, is the main isotope used in nuclear medicine. It is obtained primarily in nuclear reactors, such as the Polish research reactor MARIA at the NCBJ in Świerk.

However, the production of this isotope in nuclear reactors has significant limitations, which is why scientists are looking for new ways to produce molybdenum-99 more efficiently, for example using accelerators.
