Interesting, you should look into the medical application of Ac-225 one of the daughter nuclides of Th-229.

This could mean that a lot of Th-229 can be reallocated towards the production of medical isotopes instead.

That would be a blessing for my industry as a whole.

Great to have been at the Theranostics World Congress with the Accelerate.EU consortium.

We were happy to share the progress made on Astatine-211 and targeted alpha therapies.
