22ND Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum – Energy Independence And Security

During his remarks, Mr. Ghita mentioned that mention that repower EU helps us also relieve some of our other dependency on Russia, and that is medical isotopes. One little known thing is that all nuclear power plants can also produce medical isotopes, cobalt-60, molybdenum 99, lutetium, which are the treatment of the future. A lot of the current Cobalt 60 that is developed, is produced in nuclear power plants and research power plants in Western Europe that will be decommissioned towards the end of the decade, so we need to look at other solutions and that’s where nuclear electric is also working on a project to start developing these type of products and this is where putting more money into this can help us can help mobilize things forward and can help get more independence, and a cleaner future, he mentioned.
