Abstract: An apparatus for use with a neutron source for producing reaction-product nuclei from reactant nuclei includes a plurality of reactant nuclei and a plurality of moderating nuclei. The reactant nuclei and the moderating nuclei are configured to increase the probability of neutron capture by reactant nuclei to achieve enhanced ratios of neutron capture by reactant nuclei to neutron source neutron production. Moderating nuclei and neutron reflection are used to minimize neutron leakage. Temperature control, including cryogenic temperature control, may be used to enhance the rate or probability of reactant nuclei neutron capture. The reactant nuclei may include molybdenum-98 and reaction-product nuclei may include technetium-99m.
