Cross-sections of deuteron-induced nuclear reactions on natural molybdenum have been studied in the frame of a systematic investigation of charged particle-induced nuclear reactions on some metals for various applications. The excitation functions of 
Mo(d,x)
Tc were measured up to 10 MeV deuteron energy by using the stacked foil activation technique. This work aimed to get new experimental data useful in accelerator technology, and for testing nuclear reaction models. The integral yield was determined for 
Tc, and 
Mo radioisotopes. The experimental data were compared with the results of theoretical calculations obtained by using EMPIRE-3.2.3, and TENDL 2019 codes resulting in moderate agreement.
