"Isotope production" refers to the process of creating or generating different forms of atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Murthy discloses that he owns stock in General Electric, Mallinckrodt and Cardinal Health, which are involved in radioactive isotope and cyclotron production He has consulted for Bracco Diagnostics and Ionetix which are also involved in
radioactive isotope production.
The High Flux Isotope Reactor, or HFIR, now in its 48th year of providing neutrons for research and
isotope production at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society (ANS).
The Chalk River site is the home of the remaining operating nuclear reactor, nuclear operations to support
medical isotope production, a diverse science and technology group, and an organization focused on environmental remediation and decommissioning.
Extensive knowledge of legislative and regulatory frameworks required to operate existing plants and develop new nuclear in commercial and federal markets worldwide, including Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)- licensed fuel cycle and
isotope production facilities.
With
improved isotope production, Hogle said, comes more effective cancer treatments and enhanced research productivity across the scientific spectrum.
The scientists used Brookhaven's Cyclotron — a small accelerator dedicated to
isotope production — to produce the nitrogen radiotracer, which was then introduced to the soil in a stream of air.
«HFIR, with its preeminent role in
isotope production and neutron science, certainly meets that criteria.»
These efforts include installing a 30 - ton detector system (with shielding) in an operating research reactor building as close as 21 feet to the reactor core without affecting HFIR's primary missions of neutron scattering research,
isotope production and testing of irradiated materials.
In some rough order of certainty we can consider that the 11 year solar cycle impacts on the following are well accepted: stratospheric ozone, cosmogenic
isotope production, upper atmospheric geopotential heights, stratospheric temperatures and (slightly less certain and with small magnitudes ~ 0.1 deg C) tropospheric and ocean temperatures.
