New Laka research report: Medical Radioisotope Production Without A Nuclear Reactor
This report is answering the key question: 'Is it possible to ban the use of research reactors for the production of medical radioisotopes?' The answer is 'yes'.
Radioisotopes production with cyclotrons offers many advantages over a nuclear reactor: the volume of radioactive waste produced by cyclotrons is far less and much less hazardous than the radioactive waste of research reactors; the production is decentralized and there is no proliferation risk.
