CANADIAN ISOTOPE PROJECT ENTERS FINAL STRETCH

摘要

A research project exploring the potential for making medical isotopes with X-rays from a particle accelerator instead of a nuclear reactor is about to move to the large scale.The Canadian Isotope Project, led by the Canadian Light Source (CLS) and partners in-cluding the National Research Council of Canada, and medical researchers in Winnipeg, Ottawa and Toronto, is set to scale-up their work to production levels with the delivery of a new particle accelerator built by Ontario-based Mevex Corporation."We are very excited to be passing this key milestone in the project," said Mark de Jong, CLS director of Accelerators and project leader.
