Cyclotrons for medical isotopes needed in other States, not monopolised by ANSTO in Sydney
Trisha Dee Fight To Stop Nuclear Waste Dump In Flinders Ranges SA, 28 Nov 16 ANSTO want to pick up where Canada has stepped off. Canada used to provide a significant part of the world’s radioactive isotopes. Now Australia wants to get in on this dying industry. They need to make room at Lucas Heights to do so. Hence their push to bury their toxic waste in the outback. There is no strong case for co-location. Noel Wauchope . The Nuclear Fuel Chain Royal Commission recommended expanding a cyclotron industry in South Australia, to develop medical radioisotopes.
Steve Dale I heard that our Cyclotron at SAHMRI could produce even more of the diagnostic products locally – but are prevented from doing so by ANSTO. When Lucas Heights new reactor breaks down for an extended time, Australia will be wishing we put our money into a nationwide network of Cyclotrons https://www.facebook.com/groups/344452605899556/permalink/383529301991886/?comment_id=383790921965724
