[ RadSafe ] Medical Isotopes

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Dear Clayton J. Bradt/Radsafe,
 
     Yes, NRC paperwork etc. does slow down reactor  matters.  I suppose it 
all is necessary.
 
     Hope Albany will have a warm winter this  year.
 
     Too bad Enrico Fermi isn't still alive --- Plasma  Fusion would be 
working by now.  Wonder what the
Fusors are up to nowadays????
 
     With all the natural gas around these days, I  guess there is no 
longer an Energy Crisis.
Everyone just wants energy/power at a price of $0.00 per energy/power  
unit.  No more energy
crisis --- now we have Carbon problems and the supposed Global  Warming.
 
    There are $22K per year stipends for graduate studies  in  Atmospheric 
Sciences at 
SUNY/Albany (The University at Albany???).  With the recent passing of  
Hurricane Sandy,
maybe some Health Physics MS/MA students will want to get a PhD in  
Atmospheric Sciences.???
 
    Team USA has re-elected Obama --- guess Yucca Mountain  won't go 
forward in the next 4 years.???
Oh well.
 
    Regards,  Joe Preisig
 
PS  Guess people at the EPA are very relieved today.  Mitt might  have cut 
some jobs there.

Joe,

Not difficult?   You seem to be forgetting  about the NRC.

Dear Radsafe:


Howdy.

One  could  probably produce medical isotopes using one of 
these 
new, small,   modular
reactors.  A group of hospitals, a corporation, a National Lab  etc.  with 
deep pockets could
probably buy such a reactor and  start to produce Tc-99 etc. rather 
quickly.  I expect the $$$
from  sales of such isotopes could be quite large.

At  the end of its lifetime, such a reactor might???  be 
shipped 
off to France for 
reprocessing.  This doesn't  sound difficult to do at all.

Regards,    Joseph R. (Joe) Preisig,  PhD
