Examples of technetium
technetium
The actual production of technetium-99 from spent nuclear fuel is a long process.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Radioactive technetium was discovered in water in the No. 3 reactor building.
From the infowars.com
Supplies of technetium have been cut severely by two nuclear reactors going offline.
From the sacbee.com
Thus, like other radioactive isotopes, technetium-99m can't be stockpiled.
From the sciencedaily.com
Technetium-99m is a product of Molybdenum-99, which has been in short supply recently.
From the sciencedaily.com
A little over half of technetium-99 used in the United States goes for heart imaging.
From the usatoday.com
As the molybdenum breaks down, it gives off technetium, which blends with the saline.
From the sacbee.com
Technetium is slowly rising and Tritium discjarges have virtually exploded.
From the guardian.co.uk
A typical example is the technetium-99m generator used in nuclear medicine.

- A crystalline metallic element not found in nature; occurs as one of the fission products of uranium
- Technetium is the chemical element with atomic number 43 and symbol Tc. It is the lowest atomic number element without any stable isotopes. Nearly all of technetium is produced synthetically and only minute amounts are found in nature. ...
- A metallic chemical element (symbol Tc) with an atomic number of 43
- Technetium-99m or 99mTc is an isotope widely used in radiopharmaceuticals because it emits easily detectable gamma rays and has a half-life of only a few hours. The Chalk River reactor produces much of the world's supply of molybdenum-99, the precursor to Technetium-99m.
- (chemical symbol Tc, atomic number 43) is a silvery gray, radioactive, crystalline metal. Its appearance is similar to platinum, but it is commonly obtained as a gray powder. Its short-lived isotope ^99mTc is used in nuclear medicine for a wide variety of diagnostic tests. ...
- A chemical element with atomic number 43. Technetium was discovered in 1937 at the University of California at Berkeley by Enrico Fermi and Carlo Perrier. Its chemistry allows easy labelling of many pharmaceuticals. The short half life radioactive form (^99mTc with a half life of 6. ...
