Try Petain (Netherlands), South Africa and CERN.  Also Russia.

Folks

Please see 
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/29/nordion-russia-idUSL1E8LT3V820121029.
Out of curiosity, does anyone understand whether Nordion is looking
for a source of *targets* from which to produce Mo-99, or for a source
of Mo-99 itself?  (FYI, I realize that Mo-99 is a primary fission
by-product.)  The article seems ambiguous.  TIA.

Cheers
cja
