The separation of 99Mo from other fission products has been successfully attempted by isolating S in a HNO3 solution of neutron-irradiated UO2 and collecting 99Mo on it. Influence of various factors on the separation of 99Mo was examined. When 5% aqueous solution of K2S was added to the solution of fission products of high HNO3 concentration and the mixture of S stood for 10 min, over 80% of the 99Mo could be separated with the precipitate. Besides 99Mo, 132Te, 103Ru and other nuclides also accompanied the precipitate. The presence of Mo carrier and U affected greatly the separation of 99Mo, but that of Zr or Te carrier did not.
