DOE Isotope Program Highlights
Fighting Cancer on Earth and in Space Using High-Energy Protons
Scientists on Earth use high-energy protons to create isotopes to detect and treat cancer. In space, however, these same high-energy protons can pose a risk to spacecraft and the health of the astronauts traveling in them.
Cancer Countermeasures on a Column
University researchers produce a novel method of shipping the promising medical isotope astatine-211
New Approach to Radioisotope Power Sources for Improved Efficiency, Long Life
NextGen power sources may satisfy the need for long-term, compact power for use in remote or extreme environments.
Enclosing Radiation-Loaded Particles to Better Seek and Destroy Cancer
Promising study details how radioactive agents could be sent directly to cancer cells.
