Making a medical isotope used by millions, S8E1

How can we support nuclear medicine efforts that help more than 40,000 people in the U.S. everyday? Researchers at the Oregon State University College of Engineering have developed a way to produce the much-needed radioisotope technetium-99m using small research reactors like the one here at the university.

• The Oregon State TRIGA Reactor
• Northwest Medical Isotopes
• “Bringing medical isotope production closer to home”
• Molybdenum-99 for Medical Imaging
• Moly target
