Radioisotopes are used in a treatment called radioisotope therapy, which safely and effectively treats cancer and other chronic diseases. #NuclearExplained
Can you think of another use of radioisotopes?

Jay Broughton Senator Matt Canavan Ok enough, can you read?
'Lucas Heights produces radioisotopes for MEDICINE, it is not used to produce power'. That's what I said.
Radioisotopes are taken orally or injected and a PET scanner is used for imaging (not an X-ray or CT machine).
Do some reading before you start.
McMaster & King's College London team up to advance nuclear medicine research with innovative radioisotopes for diagnostics. Discover more about this partnership: bit.ly/4bala6y

Sidney Crowson Notsobad David Science girl Cleaner as in just generally less harmful to us, the ecosystems and the environment. I don't fully buy into the climate crisis story, but oil and coal is dirty. Really dirty.
Burning coal throws sulfur, heavy metals and radioisotopes into the air, to wash into waterways.
Jay Broughton Senator Matt Canavan Lucas Heights produces radioisotopes for medicine, it is not used to produce power.
The current reactor was built by the Argentinian company INVAP as a turnkey solution (that means they performed the design, construction & commissioning).
Nuclear builds are too slow & expensive.
luvozluvlife2019 Senator Matt Canavan The power to produce your radioisotopes for medical purposes is through nuclear
Klaas Meijer The natural bedrock in the South West of the UK are higher than average in radioisotopes.
All buildings there need to be checked for Radon Gas build up.

✨️Stephanie Halbrook✨️ AstroForge SpaceX space mining has another huge, huge advantage that is hard to tap under all this cloud and magnetic field: in space heavy constant cosmic ray bombardment is always making new isotopes of the elements. On Earth appreciable amounts of stable and radioisotopes are constrained by the…
Brendan Darrin2999🇬🇬 Daniel Lambert (Wines). 🇪🇺🇫🇷🏴🍇🥂 UK national chains operating here are probably plugged in to UK supply chains.
I expect some local traders buy direct from Europe, although no idea really. I know we get medical radioisotopes for the hospital flown directly from Paris
luvozluvlife2019 Senator Matt Canavan How do you create radioisotopes, hydro power, no.
Nuclear yes.
Louïse Hitchcock Din #Fella I saw something recently that said that back in the John Howard days Senate Greens blocked the OPAL reactor that makes medical and industrial radioisotopes until he agreed to put legal obstacles in the way of future nuclear power generation projects. If true it’s very dumb.
I am become Life. Luigi Scardoffi 🕶️🌞🦅🐓🐔 Probably toss in some PFAS and PAHs too. Lack of radioisotopes since they stopped above ground testing is making us soft.
