With this promising start, AECL came to be a major world supplier of medical isotopes, using both the NRX reactor, and the NRU reactor, which came on-line in 1957. However, as these reactors began to age, it became clear that a new facility would be needed to continue the production of medical isotopes.
Shine Technologies (stylized as SHINE Technologies) is a private corporation based in Janesville, Wisconsin.The company applies nuclear fusion and advanced separation technologies across fields of critical need, including nondestructive testing, radiation hardening services for industrial and defense applications, and the production of radioisotopes, including n.c.a. lutetium-177 for cancer ...
Medical isotope production reactor Finished; never entered service 2000 2008 Chalk River Laboratories: Incomplete commissioning, never completed testing. However, criticality was achieved [11] MAPLE 2: Medical isotope production reactor Finished; never entered service 2003 2008 Chalk River Laboratories: Incomplete commissioning, never completed ...
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, was conceptualized over decades and built over 14 years with $635.5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science and $94.5 million ...
CERN-MEDical Isotopes Collected from ISOLDE (MEDICIS) is a facility located in the Isotope Separator Online DEvice (ISOLDE) facility at CERN, designed to produce high-purity isotopes for developing the practice of patient diagnosis and treatment [1]. The facility was initiated in 2010, with its first radioisotopes (terbium-155) produced on 12 ...
In August 2014, Phoenix Nuclear Labs and SHINE Medical Technologies successfully operated the second-generation neutron driver prototype for 24 consecutive hours with a 99% uptime. The test was said to be a key milestone towards the production of medical isotopes such as molybdenum-99 (parent isotope of the medically useful nuclear isomer 99m ...
The Multipurpose Applied Physics Lattice Experiment (MAPLE) was designed as a dedicated isotope-production facility. Initially, two identical MAPLE reactors were to be built at Chalk River Laboratories, each capable of supplying 100% of the world's medical isotope demand.
TRIGA is a swimming pool reactor that can be installed without a containment building, and is designed for research and testing use by scientific institutions and universities for purposes such as undergraduate and graduate education, private commercial research, non-destructive testing and isotope production.
