摘要：

An experiment was carried out to study the feasibility of Mo-99 production using an electron accelerator based epi-cadmium neutron source. The neutrons were produced by the interaction of bremsstrahlung end-point energy of 10 MeV with BeO blocks and the neutrons thus produced were moderated using High Density Polyethylene blocks. Effective cross-section of Mo-98(n,gamma)Mo-99 reaction was measured using foil activation method. An enhancement in the effective cross-section due to resonances in the epi-cadmium region was observed. The photons and neutron production/transport in the experimental set-up were simulated using the FLUKA Monte Carlo code. The simulations were found to be in good agreement with the experimental findings.
