Title: Production of Ra225 precursor for Ac225/Bi213 generators. Final CRADA Report.

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/967952· OSTI ID:967952

Russian subcontractors shipped two small deliveries of Ra225 to PNNL for evaluation. The activity was close to the requisite amount in the subcontract. The first labeled properly; the second did not. This showed that the Russians could supply Ra225 to the US; however they proved unable to meet future demands for larger amounts of activity. The US DOE attempts to get Ra225 from Russian should be terminated; the Russians, under Rosatom, are not interested in this business.
