Two irradiation facilities, the OSIRIS reactor in France and the NRU reactor in Canada, contributed to the Mo-99 supply until December 2015 and October 2016, respectively. The OSIRIS reactor permanently stopped operating; the NRU reactor is kept in hot standby and could resume production until March 2018 to support global Mo-99 supply and avoid Mo-99 shortages.

Khlopin Radium Institute and Tomsk Polytechnic University supply the Mo-99/Tc-99m produced only to the domestic market and do not currently have additional production capacity for exports. At Khlopin Radium Institute, a stationary technetium generator is used to elute Tc-99m for distribution to the St.
