US Nuclear Corp

We are proud of the many accomplishments reached to date, including:

• US Patent issue for radionuclide production using Z- pinch neutron source.
• Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects (DOE/ARPA – E) – $5.1M awardee.
• Ongoing collaborations with the University of California, San Diego and the University of Nevada, Reno National Terrawatt Facility for laboratory experiments and advancement of MIFTEC technology

And planned actions:

• Planned production of Mo-99 using the safe, efficient, environmentally friendly, and scalable Staged Z–Pinch technology, producing no long-term nuclear waste
• MIFTEC technology with the expected capability of providing the nuclear medicine industry with on-site isotope production at a cost savings of up to 50% of current facilities.

The current state of medical isotope production is precarious at best.  Worldwide demand is primarily dependent on 5 aging nuclear reactors approaching the end of their operational usefulness.  Prominent closures of two reactors this year in Australia and Canada, highlight the urgency for a new method to produce these valuable isotopes already in short supply.

Conclusion

CEO Robert Goldstein says, “Given the failing state of essential medical isotope production facilities, this first-ever achievement to meet and exceed the 10¹⁰ milestone in fusion neutron production could not come at a better time. Additionally, the projected cost savings of up to 50% over the current imported resources, the idea of on-site production, and the environmental benefit of a non-proliferating process that precludes the hazards of fission-based methods should make for important upgrades ahead in the vital medical isotope supply chain.”
