[ RadSafe ] Cl-36 in Nuclear Medicine?

[jearadrat at aol.com]

Good afternoon, all:

In a reqcent company training session, one of my fellow technicians mentioned that a nuclear medicine application was being developed for chlorine-36.  Considering the VERY long (3E5 yrs) half-life, what possible patient application can there be for this?  Or is it possible some erroneous information is being spread?

Thanks in advance,
