Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive pharmaceuticals for diagnostic or therapeutic use and typically consist of a radionuclide and a vector molecule. Radionuclides for diagnostic use typically have a short half-life and emit gamma rays that can be detected outside of the body using single photon tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET) camera’s that generate an image ...

About the lecture Cybersecurity is a critical issue for the nuclear industry and its entire ecosystem. Whether it involves security vulnerabilities, attacks targeting sovereign activities, or regulatory compliance obligations, Framatome strengthen the cybersecurity posture of nuclear operators and critical industries. We believe that security challenges cannot be addressed with a single measure, in a single location, ... Read more
All light water reactors (LWRs) around the world today are using fuel systems comprised of uranium oxide (UO2) within a zirconium-based alloy cladding. Some reactors use uranium-plutonium oxide fuels, which are also known as mixed oxide (MOX) fuels. The oxide fuel-zircaloy system has been optimised over many decades and performs very well under normal operating ... Read more
