The Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK-CEN has signed a contract with Framatome to supply fuel for the BR2 research reactor, which is converting from the use of high-enriched uranium fuel to ...
To produce actinium-227, the isotope used for an FDA-approved cancer treatment, the first step is to bombard targets of the radioisotope radium-226 in ORNL's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). The ...
ORNL is a leader both in developing advanced radiotherapies and in providing the radioisotopes needed for those therapies.
Radioactive isotopes (or radioisotopes) have been employed for cancer treatment for years, with radioactive iodine being used to treat tumours of the thyroid gland since the 1950s. However, the vast ...
It is also used to generate other radioisotopes that have potential uses in cancer therapies. ORNL produces actinium-227 through reactor irradiation of radium-226 targets. This radioisotope, along ...
Using its electron linear accelerator, researchers have enabled two companies to demonstrate new methods for the production of molybdenum-99, the parent isotope of technetium-99m – a medical isotope ...
NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes, LLC formerly of Madison, Wisconsin now headquartered in Beloit, is the recipient of a $15 million cooperative agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s ...
Along with the development of 18F- and 68Ga-labeled PET agents, radioisotopes have enabled precise diagnostic imaging across diverse clinical applications. Similarly, radiotherapy, a long-established ...
Extension of 2012 agreement grants NTP the rights to manufacture and distribute non-carrier-added Lutetium-177 (n.c.a. 177 Lu) Companies enter into an additional manufacturing and supply agreement for ...
The CERN-MEDICIS facility in Geneva, Switzerland has produced radioisotopes for medical research for the first time. This is the first step in the MEDICIS facility’s plans to make a large number of ...
New insights from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) highlight how robust global systems ensure that radioactive materials reach their destinations securely—while protecting people and the ...
Imagine an aircraft manufacturer that finds it is unable to inspect the welds or key castings on the wings of a commercial jetliner because it can’t obtain the tools — industrial radiation materials — ...
