Nuclear Medicine Technologies for Global Health

Payne Institute Fellow William Nuttall co-wrote this report on proposals for strengthening nuclear medicine globally whilst minimising proliferation risks.  Dr. Nuttall introduced the idea of a theoretical small-scale medical isotope reactor that might be designed and built in the United Kingdom and a partner country for export to states in need of a resilient supply of short-lived medical isotopes to serve the growing health needs of their populations; and the the technological criteria required for such a technology to be exported without proliferation risks, and the alternative models of supply to address limitations to the current system of supply.  June 9, 2023.
