Radioisotope Production

Radioisotope production involves creating unstable atomic variants (radioisotopes) used in various applications, particularly in medicine and industry. These isotopes are produced by bombarding stable materials with particles in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator. Once generated, radioisotopes can be used for medical imaging, cancer treatment, and sterilization of equipment, among other uses. Their unique properties allow them to emit radiation, which helps detect and target specific tissues or materials, making them invaluable in fields like diagnostics and therapeutic applications.
