SEC. 3144. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PRODUCTION OF MOLYBDENUM –9 9. (a) F INDIN G S.—Congress finds the following: (1) There are fewer than five reactors around the world currently capable of producing molybdenum –9 9 (in this section referred to as ‘‘ M o–99’’) and there are no such reactors in the United States that can provide a reliable supply of Mo– 99 to meet medical needs. (2) Since November 2007, there have been major disrup- tions in the global availability of Mo–99, including at facilities in Canada and the Netherlands, which have led to shortages of Mo–99-based medical products in the United States and around the world. (3) Ensuring a reliable supply of medical radioisotopes, including Mo–99, is of great importance to the public health. (4) It is also a national security priority of the United States, and specifically of the Department of Energy, to encour- age the production of low-enriched uranium-based radioisotopes in order to promote a more peaceful international nuclear order. 42USC7 27 9. 42USC7 385s-1 5 note .
