#IsotopeFunFactFriday: @ORNL-produced #tungsten-188 generates #rhenium-188, used in a cream to treat #keloid scars, which can be painful and limit #mobility. The cream is used in #SouthAfrica, where as many as 9 million people have keloids: https://t.co/sPjp087DdZ
#IsotopeFunFactFriday:
@ORNL-produced #tungsten-188 decays into #rhenium-188, a high-energy #isotope used to treat #cancers, rheumatoid #arthritis and other medical issues. One tungsten "generator" at a hospital can produce on-site Re-188 for up to a year.
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: Airline passengers' hands, shoes and bags are checked for #nitrogen, a common ingredient in #explosives, by using @ORNL-produced #nickel-63. Ni-63 can detect unusual amounts of nitrogen to combat terrorism. More: https://t.co/EFtTN0CqEH
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: Each microgram of fresh #Califorium-252 produces 139 million #neutrons per minute -- making it useful as a startup source for #nuclearreactors. @ORNL provided Cf-252 for the first new U.S. nuclear reactors in more than 30 years: https://t.co/WfPHhiE0ac
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: @ORNL's #HFIR started producing small batches of californium in the 1960s, and by 1995 was producing at least 500 mg annually. HFIR is the sole producer of Cf-252 in the western world. How it happens: https://t.co/GelqPyAwoC
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: #Plutonium-238, produced at #ORNL, emits heat as it decays. That heat can be converted to #electricity -- a power source that can last decades, making it ideal for #deepspace travel. See how it works: https://t.co/M3ZmkSQUoz
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: @ORNL will supply #plutonium-238 for @NASA's #Dragonfly mission to #Titan in 2027. Pu-238 fuels the #RTG to power flight, data transmission and science operations on #Saturn's largest moon. More on Pu-238 in deep space: https://t.co/L9zslwLpKs
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: @ORNL produces #actinium-227 for a specific #prostatecancer treatment. But that process yields other potentially useful byproducts — such as #thorium-228, being studied for #cancer treatment applications. Learn more: https://t.co/SQWZ56D0Ux
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: @ORNL-produced #berkelium-249 took a long, strange trip to Russia, where it was used to discover #element 117, #tennessine. The discovery of #superheavy elements is an #international collaboration, and @ORNL’s role is crucial: https://t.co/xJMBPut46Y
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: The first visible #berkelium compound, in 1962, weighed 3 billionths of a gram! @ORNL's #REDC is the only place that can produce enough #berkelium-249 to put under an ion beam — necessary for finding new #elements, like #tennessine: https://t.co/QQ7AzGuGq9
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: #Selenium-75, produced in @ORNL’s #HFIR, is used in #medicine to look at the function of the #pancreas and the parathyroid gland. Learn more about contributions to medical diagnostics by ORNL and other #NationalLabs: https://t.co/ic2yRi2H2Z
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: #Se-75, used in industry to inspect welds by #radiography, is one of a dozen or so #radioisotopes of #selenium. Se-75 is produced in @ORNL’s High Flux Isotope Reactor. Take a #HFIR tour here: https://t.co/t6Ck3VNph5
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: @ORNL is the only producer of the #Promethium-147 isotope. Promethium isn't in the #earth's crust -- but in 1970 researchers found the element in the spectrum of #star HR465, 520 light-years away in the #Andromeda constellation. https://t.co/g9b4dvth01
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: #Promethium, a byproduct of @ORNL's #plutonium production, was first identified during the #ManhattanProject at ORNL. Now the lab is recovering Pm-147 isotopes for use in #research and for #batteries and measuring materials. More: https://t.co/uAlvOLRHSd
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: Because targets used at @ORNL to make #actinium-225 for #cancer treatments are irradiated, they must be handled in a #hotcell. An ORNL researcher created a machine for separations that can withstand that environment: https://t.co/P8elOOzA61
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: The irradiated targets used to produce #actinium-225 for #cancer treatments must go through six chemical separations. An @ORNL researcher has devised a machine to do that faster: https://t.co/P8elOOzA61
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: Less than 4% of #nickel-63, used to detect #explosives, occurs in nature. @ORNL's #HighFluxIsotopeReactor can bombard enriched targets to produce large quantities of Ni-63 more quickly and at lower cost than other #reactors. More: https://t.co/EFtTN0CqEH
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: @ORNL started making #nickel-63, used to detect #explosives in airports and other places, in 1951. It's the only known producer of Ni-63: https://t.co/EFtTN0CqEH
#IsotopeFunFactFriday: @ORNL researchers are working on new technology to speed the production of #Actinium-225, in demand because of its use in #cancer treatments. More: https://t.co/P8elOOhZet
