In this video, AECL’s Richard Cote, Vice President of the Isotope Business, and Marc Robillard, Acting Director, Medical Isotopes, use excellent visuals to provide a comprehensive look at the process involved in producing medical isotopes at NRU.  Mr. Cote and Mr. Robillard explain how the isotopes have a short shelf life, making the production and distribution of the isotope to our customer extremely time sensitive.  They also describe how the Chalk River Laboratories are part of a larger global logistical team of experts delivering medical isotopes to the world each and every day.
