Russian nuclear utility Rosenergoatom (Electric Power Division of Rosatom) is expanding the range of radioactive isotopes produced at NPPs. In the near future, the production of the radioactive isotope samarium-153 will be launched at the Leningrad NPP. Radiopharmaceuticals based on samarium-153 (Sm-153) are widely used in nuclear medicine to reduce pain in bone metastases to provide palliative care to cancer patients, as well as in traumatology for chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
