California company eyeing Tri-Cities Research District
A California company, Alpha Source, Inc. , is eyeing the Tri-Cities Research District (TCRD) as home to an advanced design, high-energy alpha-particle accelerator dedicated to medical isotope production. The company is currently seeking funding from investors and other funding sources to occupy 6,000-square-feet of the APEL facility. The TCRD was chosen for its close proximity to the expertise and support infrastructure that can be provided by PNNL. The Laboratory's Radiochemical Processing Laboratory (2 miles north of APEL) will help design and process accelerator targets for Alpha Source. PNNL will extract, purify, and ship the medical isotopes produced in the Alpha Source linear alpha accelerator. Read more on Alpha Source.
