ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation)
ANSTO runs the OPAL research reactor near Sydney and a molybdenum-99 plant that supplies Australia's nuclear medicine and exports, and produces lutetium-177 for radioligand therapy.
Overview
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation operates the OPAL reactor at Lucas Heights, commissioned in 2007, and the ANSTO Nuclear Medicine molybdenum-99 processing plant opened in 2019 to serve domestic technetium generators and export. It also produces non-carrier-added lutetium-177 and other isotopes and runs a national radiopharmaceutical distribution operation. Outages at the processing plant in its first years produced domestic shortages and imports from other processors.
