The NEA hosted...
Joint Declaration on the Security of Supply of Medical Radioisotopes
Technetium‑99m (Tc‑99m) is the most commonly used radioisotope in nuclear medicine diagnostic scans. It is essential for diagnostic scans of a broad range of body parts, and thus for accurate diagnos...
NEA and CNIC announced plans for collaborative efforts to help ensure the supply of medical radioisotopes.
Statement by the OECD/NEA Steering Committee for Nuclear Energy Regarding Policy Actions Necessary to Ensure the Long-term Security of Supply of Medical Radioisotopes
This report includes information provided confidentially by supply chain participants to support this new work of the NEA, which follows previous work undertaken by the High-level Group on the Securi...
The reliable supply of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) and its decay product, technetium-99m (Tc-99m), is a vital component of modern medical diagnostic practices. Disruptions in the supply chain of these radi...
