Medical isotope production without highly enriched uranium

Medical isotope production without highly enriched uranium / Committee on Medical Isotope Production Without Highly Enriched Uranium, Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board, Division of Earth and Life Studies, National Research Council of the National Academies.

"This book is the product of a congressionally mandated study to examine the feasibility of eliminating the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU2) in reactor fuel, reactor targets, and medical isotope production facilities. The book focuses primarily on the use of HEU for the production of the m...
