Radium sources yield cancer-fighting Ac-225 in IAEA program
The International Atomic Energy Agency has reported that, to date, 14 countries have made 14 transfers of disused radium to be recycled for use in advanced cancer treatments under the agency’s Global Radium-226 Management Initiative. Through this initiative, which was launched in 2021, legacy radium-226 from decades-old medical and industrial sources is used to produce actinium-225 radiopharmaceuticals, which have shown effectiveness in the treatment of patients with breast and prostate cancer and certain other cancers.

The TCR program is working towards establishing and maturing the processes and procedures for adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) in the design and fabrication of nuclear structures, systems and components through a demonstration. A helium-cooled 3-MWt microreactor, TCR pushes the boundaries of complexity of core fuel and flow-channel geometries enabled by the AM in order to boost operational efficiencies. In this special panel session, experts from the TCR program will present the approach and progress on the TCR instrumentation and control (I&C) system.
