Production of Lu-177 and other radionuclides
Problem Lu-177 is a radioactive isotope in high demand as a therapeutic for treatment of several types of cancer and may have other nuclear medicine applications. Current estimates are that the demand for Lu-177 will exceed 190,000 doses per year by 2023. No carrier added Lu-177 is produced by irradiation of enriched Yb in a nuclear reactor followed...

Acidic organophosphorus separation of americium and curium
Unmet Need: Acidic separation of americium from curium for closing fuel cycleThe separation of americium from curium has been a challenging step for completely closing the nuclear fuel cycle. Both elements are most stable in the trivalent oxidation state in acidic solution. Compounding this issue is their nearly identical ionic radii. The identical...
