While these radioisotopes have the potential to produce powerful results in the treatment of cancers, scaling up production to meet the high demand of these radioisotopes comes with increasing radiation levels. This research by scientists at Argonne National Laboratory explored new materials that could support and facilitate the efficient separation of radium and actinium in the context of the large-scale production of radioisotopes used in targeted alpha therapy. These new resins and this recent research will help producers save time, effort, and costs while reducing the risks of manufacturing alpha-emitting radioisotopes. Chemical processes need to be robust in these hazardous environments. As production increases, radiation levels will also increase. These new types of resins will support the purification and distribution of these lifesaving isotopes. The Impactĭemand and production of actinium-225 (Ac-225) and other alpha-emitting radioisotopes are increasing. Now, researchers have investigated the use of radiation-resistant inorganic resin scaffolds as platforms for separating radium, actinium, and lead. This can destroy typical separation equipment due to a radioactive process called alpha decay. This method poses a challenge: how to chemically separate the radium from the actinium. One method of making one isotope, actinium-225, involves bombarding radium targets with neutrons. The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science’s Isotope Program is developing and marketing novel radioactive isotopes for targeted alpha therapy. It’s especially useful for treating metastasized cancers. Our Spy School event will have your team take on a series of challenges, from air rifle shooting to hand to hand combat, you will be truly '00' status worthy by the end of the event!įor the 007 binge watchers, we run a James Bond Themed Treasure Hunt which, guided by our state of the art game software run off iPad's. Your teams will have to explore the local area of your choice and unlock location specific questions and challeges as they go!Ĭontact us for further information on 01590 607101.Targeted alpha therapy can destroy cancerous cells without harming healthy cells. Here at The Teambuilding Company we have devised a couple of events to suit the needs of all you lovers of espionage, whether you've dreamed of proving yourself in training as a spy or just want to show off your knowledge of all things 007. There are also times in every company's life when a bit of espionage is on the cards. They tend to be very popular in years when a James Bond or another major spy film comes out in the cinemas. We have several events that suit a spy theme.
