With 225+ isotopes available for purchase, the U.S. Department of Energy Isotope Program is the world leader in quality, purity, and availability of the most sought after and rare isotopes.
NIDC News
The Department of Energy’s University Isotope Network aims to facilitate more widespread shipment of short-lived isotopes. One such isotope, astatine-211, is showing promise at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.
The DOE IP will host four virtual isotope user meetings focused on the following emerging alpha-emitters: actinium-225, astatine-211, lead-203/212, and new this year, cerium-134.
Students will conduct research and technical projects at DOE national laboratories
