Nuclear Energy for Healthcare: radioisotopes production ⚛️⚕️ Nuclear energy is not only a clean and reliable source of power, it also plays a crucial role in various fields, particularly in #medicine, by producing vital #radioisotopes for medical purposes such as: 🩻Cancer Treatment 🧴Medical Sterilization 🔬Imaging and diagnosis The most important radioisotopes are: 🔹Technetium-99m is the most widely used radioisotope in medical imaging. It emits gamma rays that can be detected by imaging devices, providing detailed images of internal organs. 🔹Cobalt-60 is a high-energy gamma-ray emitter with a half-life of 5.27 years, used in cancer treatment and medical sterilization. 🔹Iodine-131 is an beta emitter used in treating thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism, with a half-life of 8 days. 🔹Cesium-137 is a beta and gamma emitter used in cancer treatment and industrial radiography, with a half-life of about 30 years. 🔹Strontium-89 is a beta emitter used for pain relief in bone cancer patients, with a half-life of 50 days. 🔹Lutetium-177 is a beta emitter used in targeted radionuclide therapy for certain cancers, such as neuroendocrine tumors, with a half-life of about 6.7 days. 🔹Actinium-225 is an alpha emitter used in targeted alpha therapy (TAT) for cancer treatment, offering high precision in destroying cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, with a half-life of about 10 days. CAELUS understands the importance of nuclear for medical purposes, our committment to making nuclear technologies more accessible and widely deployed is growing stronger each day. 📣 Share to raise awareness about nuclear energy for healthcare. Follow us to know more about our mission to make nuclear technologies #faster and #easier to deploy. Spoiler: it has to do with #GenerativeAI. 💻 #NuclearEnergy #Healthcare #Radioisotopes

Advocate for a globally competitive #AUSTRALIANFUSIONENERGYINDUSTRY with strategic communications expertise.
Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. Great Headline, Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR People talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is ignorant of what's happening around it. It must pull its collective uranium heads out of the sand and prepare to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an ever-increasing pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place, and soon to be out of Fuel" and merely temporary. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now, see what is happening in the world of the fusion industry. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Nuclear Fun Fact : Nuclear medicine and radiation therapy are two ways nuclear technologies are used to treat cancer. In nuclear medicine, radioactive substances are introduced into the body to target and destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy, on the other hand, uses high-energy radiation to shrink or eliminate tumors. Both approaches aim to selectively target and damage cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy tissues.
