WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah - July 9, 2025 - Nusano, a physics company transforming the production of radioisotopes, today announced it has received and successfully tested new equipment for its particle accelerator that will enable it to produce up to 12 different radioisotopes simultaneously. It has installed custom-built klystrons (high powered microwave vacuum tubes) and fast-pulse modulators, that together with custom-designed fast switching magnets, allow it to accelerate and steer its heavy ion particle beam. This is an important milestone and major differentiator for the Nusano platform. Other commercially available particle acceleration methods for radioisotope production are using low currents which support only limited isotope production.
"Radioisotope production methods have been stagnant for decades, resulting in shortages and a lack of innovation in radioisotope development," said Chris Lowe, CEO of Nusano. "Nusano's technology is a generational leap forward that enables production at a scale that will supply the radiopharmaceuticals market and support progress in multiple other industries, ranging from aerospace to alternative energy."
