Re[2]: Urgent Request for Medical Isotope



     MIPP is the Medical Isotope Production Project
     
     DOE made the decision to produce medical isotopes (Mo-99) in NM rather 
     than at any of the other sites that were considered, which included: 
     target irradiation at ORNL's Oak Ridge Research Reactor with target 
     fabrication and isotope separations at their Radioisotope Development 
     Lab; and irradiation at INEL's Power Burst Facility with target 
     fabrication and isotope separations at the Test Area North.
     
     DOE identified the Annular Core Research Reactor at SNL/NM and the 
     Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Facility at LANL as the preferred 
     facilities for the production of Mo-99.
