FOREWORD Foreword Following the shortages of the key medical radioisotopes, molybdenum-99 (99Mo) and its daughter technetium-99m (99mTc), the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) created the High-level Group on the Security of Supply of Medical Radioisotopes (HLG-MR). Since 2009, this group has identified the reasons for the isotope shortages and developed a policy approach to address the challenges to a long-term secure supply of these important medical isotopes. In addition to the ongoing concerns related to long-term reliability, all current long- term, major 99Mo-producing countries have agreed to convert to using low-enriched uranium (LEU) targets for the production of 99Mo. This decision was made based on important non-proliferation reasons; however, the conversion will have potential impacts on the global supply chain, both in terms of costs and available capacity. Recognising that conversion is important and will occur, and also recognising the need to ensure a long-term, secure supply of 99Mo/99mTc, the NEA and its HLG-MR undertook a study to quantify the expected capacity and cost impacts of LEU-target conversion. The study also looks at potential policy options to help ensure a reliable supply of 99Mo/99mTc produced without highly enriched uranium (HEU), consistent with the time frames and policies of the HLG-MR. This report describes the market impact study and its findings, and briefly discusses the need for policy actions. This report was prepared by the NEA Secretariat at the request of the HLG-MR. It does not necessarily represent a consensus view of the HLG-MR but is presented to enable discussions and further analysis among the members of the HLG-MR, other stakeholders and decision-makers. The individuals and organisations that contributed to the study are not responsible for the opinions or judgments it contains.
