M2 PHARMA-April 2, 2019-NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes Signs Contract with IBA for Eight Rhodotron Electron Beam Accelerators to Expand US Production of Non-uranium Based Radioisotope Mo-99

1936 - Physician Joseph G Hamilton injects a leukaemia patient with a sodium radioisotope, first intravenous injection of a human with a radioisotope.

Mo-99 is the parent isotope of Technetium-99m (Tc-99m), the most widely used radioisotope in medical diagnostic imaging worldwide.

Upon closing, BWX acquires approximately 150 highly trained and experienced personnel, two specialiaed production centres and a uniquely licensed infrastructure that will de-risk BWXT's entry into the medical radioisotope market from Nordion.

The package consists of four deals and envisages the construction of four Gen 3+ VVER-1200 units (at the Xudabao and Tianwan sites), cooperation in the CFR-600 fast reactor pilot project, and supply of the RITEG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator) parts for China's lunar exploration programme.

The acquisition accelerates and de-risks BWXT's entry into the medical radioisotope market by adding licensed infrastructure, approximately 150 highly trained and experienced personnel, and two production centres to BWXT.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the RadioGenix System, an innovative, high tech radioisotope separation platform indicated for use in producing the widely used medical radioisotope technetium- 99 (Tc-99m) from NorthStar's non-uranium based molybdenum- 99 (Mo-99).

The highest levels of the radioisotope 6 some 986 times the normal amount 6 were located in the region of Chelyabinsk, where the Mayak facility is, according to the (https://themoscowtimes.com/news/contradictory-radiation-reports-flag-russian-nuclear-plant-59633) Moscow Times .

When the procedure was first developed in the 1990s, radioisotope was injected into the peritumoral area of the breast and lymphoscintigraphy was performed to evaluate lymphatic drainage into the sentinel nodes over the next hour or two.

We preferred instead the Ommaya system of direct puncture and injection, as we considered that this would minimize the probability of radioisotope leakage through the puncture site made by the stereotactic needle.
