New Co-Director for Dalton Nuclear Institute [Published University of Manchester - May 07 2013]

Thomas Ramdahl, Algeta's Chief Technology Officer, said: "Algeta is assembling a broad portfolio of proprietary technologies (including bi-functional chelators, linkers and tumor-targeting molecules), intellectual property and expertise as a platform for generating Target Thorium Conjugates, or TTCs. The addition of the Lumiphore technologies to the portfolio through this license and further option agreements will ensure that we have access to the best bi-functional chelators for thorium-227 as we seek to create a pipeline of TTCs designed to address multiple high-value opportunities in targeted cancer therapy."

"Internationally there are two well developed molten salts processes for the reprocessing/waste conditioning of irradiated nuclear fuel. A process developed by the Dimitrovgrad SSC-RIAR process uses high temperature (1000K) eutectic molten salt mixtures as solvents for the fuel and also as electrolyte systems. In this Russian system the solvent is typically an eutectic mixture of NaCl/KCl or CsCl/KCl. The process uses chemical oxidants (chlorine and oxygen gases) to react with powdered UO.sub.2 fuel, or mixtures of UO.sub.2 and PuO.sub.2, to form higher oxidation state compounds such as UO.sub.2Cl.sub.2 which are soluble in the molten salt. At the cathode the uranium and, if applicable, plutonium compounds are reduced to UO.sub.2 or UO.sub.2-PuO.sub.2, which form crystalline deposits. However, after a period of use the molten salt becomes loaded with fission products which not only begin to affect the quality of the product, but also result in too much heat generation within the salt. These fission products are commonly, but not exclusively, highly active lanthanide or actinide elements which may need to be isolated in a suitable form for immobilisation as a waste."
