Which risk increases when a nuclear medicine technologist repeatedly handles elution of a molybdenum-99 generator?

💡 Explanation

Technetium-99m is created during the beta decay of molybdenum-99; therefore, elevated molybdenum handling correlates with greater exposure because of increased technetium production rather than from other decay emissions like alpha particles.
