SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose of the Meeting

    The American Medical Isotopes Production Act of 2012 (AMIPA) 
(Subtitle F, Title XXXI of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112-139)), enacted on January 2, 2013, 
directs the Secretary of Energy to carry out a technology-neutral 
program to support the domestic production of the medical isotope 
Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) without the use of highly enriched uranium. As 
part of this program, AMIPA requires DOE to develop a program plan and 
annually update the program plan through public workshops. NNSA 
implements this requirement through the Mo-99 Stakeholders Meeting.
