The combination of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage could cost-effectively sequester hundreds of millions of metric tons per year of carbon dioxide in the United States, making it a competitive solution for carbon management, according to a new analysis by ORNL scientists.

91°µÍø researchers have discovered a better way to separate actinium-227, a rare isotope essential for an FDA-approved cancer treatment.

Radiochemical technicians David Denton and Karen Murphy use hot cell manipulators at 91°µÍø during the production of actinium-227.

The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is now producing actinium-227 (Ac-227) to meet projected demand for a highly effective cancer drug through a 10-year contract between the U.S. DOE Isotope Program and Bayer.
