This paper identifies mechanisms for US-Russian cooperation in reducing the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) in the production of medical isotopes such as Mo-99. The authors review global trends in the elimination of HEU from Mo-99 production, discuss the future of Mo-99 production in Russia and examine incentives for non-HEU Mo-99 production. Finally, they outline commitments the US and Russia should consider to further their cooperation on the issue.
