Media Advisory: All About Isotopes

The next Senate Science & Technology Caucus briefing will examine America’s need for a consistent, reliable supply of stable radioactive isotopes for commercial, medical and research purposes.

Reporters are invited to this noon luncheon briefing on Monday, April 25.  Panelists will present an overview of where and how isotopes are produced … the demand for isotopes for industrial and medical applications … and where support for commercial isotope production (including R&D) is within the U.S. government.

The briefing, co-hosted by the Foundation for Nuclear Studies, will begin at noon in Dirksen G-50.  RSVP to 202/544-1488.  The bipartisan Senate Science & Tech Caucus is co-chaired by Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN).
