China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) said on 26 April that unit 3 at the Qinshan NPP in Zhejiang province (a pressurised heavy water reactor) has begun the world’s first production of carbon-14 radioactive isotopes using a commercial reactor. The plant expects to start supplying carbon-14 radioactive isotopes to the market in 2024 and that its production capacity can fully meet domestic demand.

Russia has delivered to South Korea 10kg of molybdenum-100 (Mo-100), which was produced as part of a cooperation project between the Electrochemical Plant (ECP - part of fuel company Tvel) and V/O Isotope (authorised Isotope supplier for state nuclear corporation Rosatom). That cooperation is based on a long-term contract the two Russian companies signed last December with South Korea's Institute for Basic Science. Further batches of 30-40kg are planned for delivery between 2017 and 2019. The Mo-100 is to be used as part of the international AMoRE (Advanced Mo based Rare process Experiment) collaboration. The highly enriched isotope ??-100 is used for growing scintillation crystals, which are needed in research using high-precision probes.
