physics powering futures
What do oncology, aerospace, clean energy, and the Internet of Things all have in common? The potential of these industries – and several more – are all unlocked by Nusano’s proprietary ion source and radioisotope production platform.
Radioisotopes are the unsung heroes of modern life – supporting advancements in medicine, agriculture, energy, environmental tracing, and more. Radioisotopes have unstable nuclei that spontaneously disintegrate and release energy. When this occurs, the energy is released in a controlled and predictable way that can be harnessed for useful means.
Nusano’s proprietary ion source and production platform are capable of producing more than 40 different varieties of radioisotopes for a wide array of industries and applications. Highly efficient, this platform will make radioisotopes in volumes unsurpassed by existing commercial methods. Nusano’s breakthrough technologies are poised to help supply the fight against cancer and enable innovation across multiple industries.
life sciences
New cancer therapies use radioisotopes to target and kill cancer cells with precision.
Nusano is capable of producing 25+ different radioisotopes to support next-generation cancer treatments and diagnosis techniques.
The Nusano platform is smaller, safer and more efficient than existing technologies used for medical radioisotope production.
industrial
Radioisotopes are used in a wide variety of industries and applications, including: industrial gauging, aerospace radiology for metal integrity, fertilizer absorption tracking, and coastal erosion monitoring.
The Nusano platform produces rare and hard-to-produce isotopes to serve these fast growing, large and under-served markets.
clean energy
The Nusano ion source can be used to accelerate the decay of long-lived nuclear waste (spent fuel rods).
When directed at spent fuel, Nusano ion source generates large amounts of heat which can be used to generate megawatts of clean energy for the electric grid and the system’s ongoing operation. This reaction also greatly reduces the half-life of the spent fuel.
batteries
Radioisotopes can be used as lightweight, long-lived power sources for a variety of applications, such as connected internet devices, aerospace and defense.
The known life cycle significantly cuts maintenance and labor costs by reducing the need for battery changes.
Nusano’s ability to produce long-lived, alpha-only decay radioisotopes allows for a wider deployment of this battery technology.
TECHNOLOGY
A new way to produce radioisotopes
Radioisotopes have been used in healthcare and industrial applications for decades. But today, the supply often doesn’t meet the need. That’s where Nusano comes in. Nusano is combining time-tested methods with our own breakthrough, patented particle acceleration technology, so we can produce radioisotopes quickly, efficiently, and affordably. Together with industry leaders, Nusano is working to supply and enable multiple billion-dollar industries to improve the quality of life for people around the world.
PRODUCTION
WEST VALLEY CITY, UTAH
Nusano is building a state-of-the-art production facility in Utah’s Salt Lake Valley. It will not only create radioisotopes needed by health care, industry and researchers, but also bring new, high-tech jobs to the area.
