Radioisotope Research and Development
The radioisotope research and development section innovates approaches to isolating accelerator and reactor-produced radionuclides for national security, industrial, medical and research applications. This group includes explores the fundamental properties of radionuclides, designing and implementing novel radionuclide separation strategies, and expanding their usefulness for the nation.
Staff maintains, expands and reestablishes radionuclide supplies, and they lead research to explore and understand the use of these radionuclides for medicine and understand the effects of radiation on normal and cancer cells.
