Medical Isotope and Cyclotron Facility 

🤣

Nuclear electricity is doomed. Too expensive. I live in Brazil.

Annon Annon Nuclear reactors are way more expensive than cyclotrons and pose danger of radiation if not properly maintained.

While reactors are certainly a good way to produce large amounts of Mo99 for Tc99m generators, they also require extensive infrastructure. There are only a handful of facilities across the globe that produce the world's supply. There are often supply chain interruptions, outages and general mishaps that mean there's a scramble to keep up with global demand. This results in shortages, and means backup supply is needed. There is a much higher cost per GBq for cyclotron-produced Tc99m, but it ensures that supply is still there to meet the patient demand. Offsetting production energy costs with solar is also a way to make this cheaper.

If it's being used to generate 99m-Tc (a Technetium atom with an atomic weight of 99 units in an "excited" state), then the target is likely 100-Mo (Molybdenum). When the protons in the ring smash into the 100-Mo target, they stick to the nucleus and cause it to eject two neutrons, leaving 99m-Tc atom, which decays via the release of 140 keV photons with a half-life of about 6 hours (hence the need to make the isotopes near where you are going to use them -- if it took you a day to get them to their final destination only 1/16th of the product would still be radioactive!).
