New Technologies Are Being Developed For The Production Of Medical Radioisotopes
Most of my blog posts have to do with nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons and/or nuclear waste. But occasionally I blog on other nuclear related issues such as the production of radioisotopes for medical use. The radioisotope market was over eleven billion dollars in 2016 and is estimated to rise to almost twenty billion dollars by 2021.

Radioactive Waste 293 - Melted Fuel May Have Been Located In The Ruins Of The Number 3 Reactor At Fukushima
In March of 2011, there was an earthquake northeast of Japan. It created a tsunami that flooded the Fukushima nuclear power plant on the coast of the Japanese island of Honshu. The tsunami flooded the emergency generators which provided power for the cooling pumps in the reactors. Without the emergency generators, the cooling systems failed and three of the six reactors melted down.
