NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes has installed an electron beam accelerator for the commercial production of Actinium-225 (Ac-225) at its new facility in Beloit, WI.
The company installed a custom-built IBA Rhodotron TT 300-HE (high energy) electron beam accelerator at the site that will be dedicated exclusively to the production of non-carrier added Ac-225, it said.
Initial production of radiochemical grade Ac-225 is planned for late 2023 or early 2024, according to the firm. The accelerator was supplied by Ion Beam Applications.
