Tri-Cities Tech Business Update
Medical isotope technology partnership
A partnership between Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation of Kennewick, Wash., Pacific Northwest National Laboratory of Richland, Wash., and the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology of the Ukraine, will receive funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop and bring to market an innovative compact-systems technology for producing critically needed medical isotopes. The two-year project will receive a $760,000 development grant focused on using compact systems to reduce the overall cost and increase the flexibility needed to produce smaller amounts of research and commercial isotopes for use in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine.
