Value Proposition
Perma-Fix (in collaboration with Battelle/PNNL) has developed a breakthrough process for manufacturing Tc-99
Meets US and global market supply needs for Tc-99m without the use of HEU or LEU targets
Eliminates environmental concerns associated with the current Mo-99 production methodology, including issues around reprocessing of materials and production of high level waste requiring permanent disposal
Supports US NNSA initiatives (GTRI) to reduce the threat associated with international production, transportation and/or use of HEU in the production of medical isotopes
Removes dependence on five existing large, foreign, government subsidized nuclear reactors
Allows for direct control of the US (at a minimum), North American and/or global Tc-99m supply chain
Achieves all of the above at a reasonable cost while simplifying supply logistics
