First astatine-labeled compound shipped in the U.S.
The Department of Energy’s National Isotope Development Center (NIDC) on March 31 announced the successful long-distance shipment in the United States of a biologically active compound labeled with the medical radioisotope astatine-211 (At-211). Because previous shipments have included only the “bare” isotope, the NIDC has described the development as “unleashing medical innovation.”

An optical model potential for neutron-antimony isotopes collision systems is obtained at the incident energies up to 200 MeV. Cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra and double differential cross sections for neutron-induced reactions on 121Sb, 123Sb and natural Sb are consistently calculated and analyzed at incident energies below 20 MeV by using theoretical nuclear models for nuclear energy applications. The calculated results are compared with experimental data and the evaluated data from CENDL-3 and JENDL-4.
