Framatome, KHNP to investigate producing Lu-177 in South Korea
Framatome and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to explore the possibility of producing the medical isotope Lutetium-177 at KHNP’s Wolsong nuclear power plant in South Korea. The companies also will investigate the feasibility of using the plant to support Korean production of medical radioisotopes in the future.

As part of the French Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) program, CEA has developped Cryogenic Target Assemblies (CTAs) for the Laser MegaJoule (LMJ). These targets are filled by permeation with high pressure deuterium-tritium gas mixture. The evolution of the materials physical properties, particularly organic ones (PI and CHx), which compose the target is unknown in these hard conditions. The polyimide and CHx membranes permeation was studied in this context. The hydrogen and helium permeation parameters are unaltered for polyimide membrane after tritium ageing in the 20 K-300 K temperature range:KHe = 3.10-14 exp(-16040/RT) mol.m-1.s-1.Pa-1KH2 = 2.10-14 exp(-16950/RT) mol.m-1.s-1.Pa-1First results for the CHx hydrogen permeation parameters without ageing tritium have been obtained:KH2 = 7.10-13 exp(-10550/RT) mol.m-1.s-1.Pa-1New CHx permeation results after tritium ageing are shortly waited.
