NORTHSTAR INTENDS THROUGH THIS EFFORT TO COMPLETE SCALE-UP PRODUCTION OF MO-99 VIA THE NEUTRON CAPTURE PROCESS USING ENRICHED MOLYBDENUM-98 TARGET MATERIAL BY 1) OBTAINING APPROVAL OF A NEXT GENERATION TC-99M SEPARATION SYSTEM KNOWN INTERNALLY AS ORION. NORTHSTAR WILL CONTINUE USE OF ENRICHED MATERIAL THAT IS NOMINALLY ENRICHED TO AT LEAST 95% IN THE STABLE ISOTOPE MOLYBDENUM-98. THIS ENRICHMENT BOOST INCREASES THE IRRADIATION YIELD APPROXIMATELY FOUR (4) FOLD WITH THE SAME TARGET LOAD MASS. ADDITIONALLY, NORTHSTAR 2) WILL COMPLETE ESTABLISHMENT OF AUTOMATED TARGET DISSOLUTION AND FILLING SYSTEMS BY INSTALLING AN AUTOMATED CUSTOMER SHIPPING SYSTEM AT OUR BELOIT, WI FACILITY. A FURTHER PROJECT OBJECTIVE ALSO IS TO 3) COMPLETE SCALE-UP OF THE RECOVERY AND RECLAMATION PROCESS TO RECLAIM ENRICHED MOLYBDENUM-98 FROM SPENT GENERATOR AND PROCESSING MATERIAL ALLOWING FOR A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER EFFECTIVE RAW MATERIAL COSTS OF TARGET MATERIAL. WE WILL 4) INSTALL QUALITY CONTROL EQUIPMENT AT OUR MURR FACILITY TO ACCELERATE MO-99 PRODUCT RELEASE TO CUSTOMERS AND ELIMINATE RELIANCE ON A THIRD PARTY LABORATORY. FURTHER, WE WILL 5) ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL ENRICHED MOLYBDENUM-98 TARGET MATERIAL TO MEET ALL TESTING AND SCALE-UP NEEDS.
