SEC. 3144. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PRODUCTION OF MOLYBDENUM– 
99. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) There are fewer than five reactors around the world 
currently capable of producing molybdenum–99 (in this section 
referred to as ‘‘Mo–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.
H. R. 2647—528 
(5) The National Academy of Sciences has identified a 
need to establish a reliable capability in the United States 
for the production of Mo–99 and its derivatives for medical 
purposes using low-enriched uranium. 
(6) There also exists a capable industrial base in the United 
States that can support the development of Mo–99 production 
facilities and can conduct the processing and distribution of 
radiopharmaceutical products for use in medical tests world-
wide. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals, including Mo– 
99 and its derivatives, are essential components of medical 
tests that help diagnose and treat life-threatening diseases 
affecting millions of people each year; and 
(2) the Secretary of Energy should continue and expand 
a program to meet the need identified by the National Academy 
of Sciences to ensure a source of Mo–99 and its derivatives 
for use in medical tests to help ensure the health security 
of the United States and around the world and promote peaceful 
nuclear industries through the use of low-enriched uranium.

gram— 
‘‘(1) must be approved by the Maritime Administrator; and 
‘‘(2) shall be for a duration, including options, of not to

and their allied service and supply industries to more effectively 
produce commercial vessels that enhance the commercial sealift 
capability of the Department of Defense; and 
(4) a revitalized and effective Maritime Loan Guarantee 
Program would result in construction of a more modern and

citizens, thereby providing a pool of trained United States 
citizen mariners available to assist the Department of Defense 
in times of war or national emergency.
