The letter from the non-profit organization called the Council on Radionuclides and Radiopharmaceuticals, Inc .,, also said that the cost of making FFTF capable of medical isotope production appears to approach the cost of building a new reactor specifically designed for this purpose.

There are several specialized experimental facilities for NAA and isotope production ( see below ), and several generalized sample rotator tubes whereby samples are lowered into the core for a set time, then pulled back out and sent to the laboratory where the data analysis will take place.

I am excited about a privatization effort that would use the FFTF to develop medical isotopes for the treatment of cancer ( when its tritium mission has ended ) . . . . As a bridge to isotope production, proponents of privatization envision FFTF serving as a supplier of tritium.

The "'V . G . Khlopin Radium Institute "', also known as the "'First Radium Institute "', is a research and production institution located in Saint Petersburg specializing in the fields of nuclear physics, ecological topics, associated with the problems of nuclear power engineering, radioecology, and isotope production.

At NCD he also played a supervisory role in developing Analytical Chemistry Group comprising modern and state of the art analytical chemistry labs such as Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy lab, Emission Spectrography lab, Chromatography lab, Electrochemical Analysis lab and radio-isotope production labs etc . In 1983, he successfully oversaw the PAEC in 1991; though he was more eager to return to academia.

According to generally accepted cosmology theory, only isotopes of hydrogen and helium, traces of some isotopes of lithium and beryllium, and perhaps some boron, were created at the Big Bang, while all other isotopes were synthesized later, in stars and supernovae, and in interactions between energetic particles such as cosmic rays, and previously produced isotopes . ( See nucleosynthesis for details of the various processes thought responsible for isotope production . ) The respective abundances of isotopes on Earth result from the quantities formed by these processes, their spread through the galaxy, and the rates of decay for isotopes that are unstable.
