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.

This panel highlights research supporting the design and optimization of information automation systems for nuclear power plants. Much of the nuclear industry is currently focused on modernization of plant systems, including potential introduction of advanced automation, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies. The introduction of novel technologies will change the nature of much of the work currently conducted at nuclear plants. Effectively integrating new technical systems with the user community is key to ensuring their effectiveness once deployed. In this panel session, we highlight progress on a program of research focused on providing the industry with tools and techniques to support effective modernization from a human-systems integration point of view, specifically with regard to information automation.
