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.

Panelists for this session will share their perspectives on the state of environmental justice efforts in nuclear siting. With representation from a range of viewpoints (academic researchers, government agencies, think tanks, and affected peoples), we hope to provide various frames of our industry’s progress towards enabling just and equitable nuclear facility siting. Along the way, we will be asking the questions: What does an environmentally-just siting process look like? What strategies are working towards getting us there? How do we know we’re making progress? Where are our biggest gaps as nuclear professionals?
