Experimental equipment, personnel and funding requirements

There are few equipment requirements beyond those normally located at a research reactor facility and those mentioned earlier in the introduction of this section. 

The first time production of a new radioisotope at a facility would typically require the attention of a professional radio-chemist to establish the procedure however, future production should be possible using a technician. 

Minimal funding is required beyond that required to implement the earlier suggestions. Annual funding requirements are small enough to be assumed in the regular operating budget. 

A reactor with this flux may operate for one or two shifts, or for a longer cycle. One and two shift operations should be capable of extending their operating hours, when required, for the production of a particular marketable isotope. 

In addition to the isotopes suggested in Section 4.2, it should be possible to produce Mo, I, and i Xe.

The requirements for reactor facilities, experimental equipment, personnel and funding are similar to the requirements for fuel material testing discussed later.
