Irradiation of 235 U targets in Maria Research Reactor Due to Mo-99 shortages for nuclear medicine, Maria Research Reactor started the program of irradiatinguranium targets (HEU) in collaboration with COVIDIEN. HEU targets are shipped by road for processing in Mallinckrodt facilities in Petten, the Netherlands: Regulatory issues had to be solved: safety analysis and design of irradiation rig, safety analysis of transport from MRR to reprocessing facility using special transportation container, engineering of irradiation facility & reloading devices,! Irradiation of HEU targets started 1st February 2010
