As a medical isotope, thorium-228 has a lot of potential – and Oak Ridge National Laboratory produces a lot.
That’s one reason ORNL researchers are especially excited about studies looking at different medical applications for the radioisotope. ORNL produces large quantities of Th-228 for the Department of Energy’s Isotope Program as a byproduct of actinium-227 production.
Both…
