In this paper, we develop a new generalized network model for the optimization of the complex operations of medical nuclear supply chains in the case of the radioisotope molybdenum, with a focus on minimizing the total operational cost, the total waste cost, and the risk associated with this highly time-sensitive and perishable, but critical, product used in health-care diagnostics. Our model allows for the evaluation of transitioning the production and processing of the radioisotope from highly enriched uranium targets to low enriched uranium targets. A case study for North America demonstrates how our model and computational framework can be applied in practice.
