Kinectrics, a division of BWX Technologies Inc., announced the completion of a major expansion to its isotope production capabilities. This expansion significantly increases its role as a global supplier of highly enriched stable isotopes.
The company commissioned four new 2nd generation Electromagnetic Isotope Separator (EMIS) units. This development establishes Kinectrics as the only North American source for Yb-176, a critical material used in life-saving cancer treatments.
This strategic expansion reduces reliance on foreign material for medical isotopes, enhancing supply chain security for the healthcare sector. It also strengthens BWXT's position in the nuclear medicine market, a key growth area for the company's commercial operations.
