South Africa supplying critical medical radioisotope to 50 countries

South African nuclear company NTP Radioisotopes (NTP), a subsidiary of the State-owned South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (better known as Necsa), has increased its production of, and its share in the global market for, the Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) radioisotope, the company announced recently. This followed the withdrawal from the market by Canada’s NRU reactor last year.
