Nuclear Medicine is both diagnostic and therapeutic.
Isotopes can be introduced into the body to allow specific imaging or to see how the carrier behaves in the body.
Isotopes are used for radiotherapy.
Neither use case is connected to nuclear power plants.

Prowess 2000, 3000, & FS2
Prowess 2000 was a radiation therapy treatmnent planning system sold by Small Systems Group, Inc. of Chico, CA. The company name was later shortented to SSGI to remove the word "Small" from company literature. With the release of Version 3, the product was rebranded as Prowess 3000 to empasize its …

I don't know about shared, but when I was in the NHS our Medical Physics department oversaw a delivery service across our area of radioactive material. It was mainly materials for radio-isotonic scans, but they would also manage other relevant items.
