      abstract     = {Nuclear medicine diagnostics that are integral to modern
                      healthcare, heavily rely on the radionuclide99Mo,
                      traditionally produced in nuclear reactors through the
                      fission of 235U [1, 2,3]. However, the complex radiochemical
                      processing involved generates substantial radioactivewaste,
                      necessitating a shift towards more sustainable practices.
                      This poster presents the99Mo Best joint project, an
                      initiative focused on developing an innovative,
                      cost-efficient conceptfor the production and utilization of
                      99Mo-based radiodiagnostics, utilizing the 98Mo(n,γ)99Mo
                      reaction eliminating fissile materials and minimizing
                      radioactive waste.The project comprises three key
                      sub-projects:1. Process Optimization: This involves refining
                      the processes for generating 99Mo-basedradiodiagnostics, as
                      well as improving their processing and utilization in
                      clinical settings.2. Neutron Target Technology: Developing
                      high neutron flux density neutron target technologyis
                      crucial for irradiation with reduced radiation doses,
                      ensuring safe handling andprocessing of Mo samples
                      post-irradiation.3. Radiation Protection and Disposal:
                      Addressing safety concerns, this sub-project aims
                      todetermine radiation protection and disposal issues
                      pertinent to the novel 99Mo productionprocess, ensuring a
                      secure and sustainable approach.This comprehensive approach
                      aims to create a paradigm shift in the field of nuclear
                      medicineby offering a sustainable and efficient alternative
                      to traditional 99Mo production methods,mitigating
                      environmental impact and advancing the application of
                      accelerator-based neutronradiation sources in medical
                      radioisotope production.AcknowledmentsThis work is supported
