As part of its nuclear fuel production process, the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) uses Uranium (U) feedstock provided by customers in the form of Uranium-Hexafluoride (UF6) or Uranyl-Nitrate (UN). Within the feedstock, the component, Technetium (Tc-99), exists in residual quantities and is a nuclear fission product of uranium. While it occurs naturally in tiny amounts within the Earth's crust, it is primarily human-made and produced during nuclear reactor operations where uranium is irradiated with neutrons.
