Promising medical isotope made and processed at Brookhaven Lab

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Thanks to a recent upgrade to the medical isotope facilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory, actinium-225 (Ac-225), an isotope that shows great promise for treating cancer, can now be produced, purified, and shipped ready for use directly from the Lab. The first shipment left Brookhaven in mid-March. This upgrade will streamline the overall production and distribution of Ac-225 to research centers.
