Producing life-saving medical isotopes

Isogen, a joint venture between Framatome and Kinectrics, is on a mission to enable the use of CANDU reactors to produce the medical isotopes needed to treat and diagnose patients with serious diseases world-wide. Isogen has successfully completed the world’s first Isotope Production System (IPS) installation within a commercial power reactor. The process inserts, irradiates and then removes targets without interrupting the power generation of the CANDU reactor.

Designed by Framatome, the IPS has been reliably creating life-saving Lutetium-177 (Lu-177), used to treat prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. Isogen’s technology is adaptable and scalable, allowing the production of the world’s largest and most reliable supply of multiple life-saving medical isotopes needed to treat and diagnose patients with cancer and other serious diseases.
