France’s Framatome and Romanian nuclear utility SN Nuclearelectrica (SNN) have agreed to explore the possibility of producing the medical isotope lutetium-177 (Lu-177) at the Cernavoda NPP. The agreement includes a technical feasibility study, based on Framatome’s isotopes production technology tested in Canada in 2022. Framatome and Nuclearelectrica will consider how to maximise the existing infrastructure at Cernavoda to convert targets into medical isotopes while maintaining power production.
