A new radioactive version of the element scandium has been produced in Australia's OPAL reactor for the first time. Scandium-47 has the potential for theranostic use, that is, both as a therapeutic drug and a diagnostic agent, and has similar properties to lutetium-177, which is already being used in clinical trials.

The underground frozen soil wall built around the four crippled Fukushima Daiichi NPP reactors to minimise ground water contamination has melted in two places following recent powerful typhoons, local media reported on 2 September. Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority in March approved the use of a massive refrigeration system to install an underground frozen barrier around buildings at the Fukushima nuclear plant in an attempt to contain leaking radioactive water. The 1.5km “ice” wall, which was partly put into use in March, melted in two places after the devastating Lionrock typhoon, the tenth of the season, flooded northern Japan, Asahi Shimbun reported.
