Both radioisotopes and enriched stable isotopes are essential to a wide variety of applications in medicine, where they are used in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. This report focuses ...

FOR twelve years now, nuclear physicists have been able to produce in their laboratories a slow release of usable amounts of atomic energy, by transmuting stable atoms of the ordinary chemical ...

One year ago last week the Clinton Laboratories at Oak Ridge, Tenn. began selling radioactive isotopes made in its uranium pile. Already, these atomic by-products have had important influences on U.S.

Brookhaven's Medical Isotope Research and Production Program focuses on extracting Actinium-225, a rare radioactive element that can be used in cancer radiation therapy. (Energy Department photo) The ...

The School of Health Sciences began with a few particles in a Purdue University lab and has since expanded into a leader in cutting-edge health research. In 1942, Professor John Christian discovered ...

Isotope geochemistry investigates the distribution and variations in the relative abundances of isotopes—both stable and radiogenic—in natural materials. By utilising high‐precision analytical ...

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 ...

What do a capsule in Australia, a cylinder in Thailand and a camera in the US have in common? All three contained radioactive material and went missing over the past three months, in what experts say ...

Radioactive material supports many activities that improve lives around the world. Only a limited number of specialized facilities produce these materials, so safe and secure tran ...
