CEO Tour
Nusano CEO, Chris Lowe, speaks to a group of community members and supporters prior to a tour of the company’s radioisotope production facility in June 2025.
Nusano Production Process
The Nusano production platform enables the simultaneous production of a wide variety of radioisotopes at unprecedented quantities. Nusano’s patented ion source creates heavy ions at rates hundreds of times greater than existing commercial systems.
Low Energy Beam Transport
The Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) region of the accelerator is located between the ion source and the radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ). The LEBT line transports the ion beam from the source to the RFQ, while also filtering, characterizing, and optimizing the beam distribution.
LEBT Tour
Nusano Director of Mechanical Engineering, Austin Cao, explains the features of the company’s LEBT to guests during a June 9, 2025 tour of the company’s 190,000-square-foot radioisotope production facility.
RFQ - Exterior
The RFQ (radiofrequency quadrupole) is the first of two accelerating structures along the beam line. The RFQ accelerates the beam coming from the LEBT, increasing its energy by about 100 times before moving it along to the drift tube linac (DTL). The Nusano RFQ is based on a very mature technology, with similar RFQs in operation in centers around the world.
RFQ - Interior
Looking through the interior of the RFQ structure, the route heavy ions will flow through Nusano’s linear accelerator.
Drift Tube Linac (DTL)
After its acceleration in the RFQ, the beam of heavy particles reaches the drift tube linac (DTL), where it continues its journey. The DTL increases the beam’s speed (and energy) using a time-varying electric field. Inside the structure, ions are “pushed” at just the right moment.
DTL - Interior
Inside the DTL, hollow metal cylinders, called drift tubes, shield the accelerating particles from the non-accelerating portion of the electric field. Tucked inside each tube is a magnetic lens, a quadrupole, which keeps the beam focused. DTL technology has stood the test of time since the 1940s and remains a reliable backbone of particle accelerators.
Rendering - DTL Interior
Inside the DTL, ‘bunches’ of ions are sped up as they pass through a time-varying electromagnetic field. In the case of alpha ions, the particles reach a speed approximately one-sixth the speed of light.
HEBT
The high energy beam transport (HEBT) is the section of the accelerator that transports the beam from the exit of the drift tube linac (DTL) to the target bays.
Image above: A section of Nusano’s HEBT sits inside Nusano’s production facility in West Valley City, Utah.
Rendering - Target Collision
The interaction of the accelerated particles with the target leads to the creation of radioisotopes. Nusano can make more than 40 distinct radioisotopes with valuable applications in life sciences and industry.
Rendering above: Seen from inside the beam chamber, accelerated particles flow toward a square target. When they collide with the target material, a radioisotope is created.
