RE: " Nuclear reactor not necessary for medicine: doctors "

some reactor-produced isotopes and producing the remainder here in

cyclotrons."



Similar to the Italian point of view - "We don't want any of that nasty

nuclear stuff in OUR country. Oh, umm, we still have a lot of cancer

patients who need internal emitter therapy and other needs for

radionuclides, guess we'll import them instead from outside at a huge

markup, that's fine."
