The Isotopes for Hope Podcast is a series that highlights Canadian leaders in the country's isotope and cancer care sector who are contributing to Canada's leadership role in fighting cancer. While this podcast aims to frame the industry’s future in this area, we also feature unique stories and perspectives about the importance of isotopes from current industry leaders. 

In this episode, Gary Rose of AtkinsRéalis explores how our CANDU reactors are an important asset for Canada's medical isotope future as we continue to leverage our power reactor fleet to provide high volumes of isotopes. Our CANDU reactors have given us the ability to not only produce electricity, but to become a high volume, reliable source for medical isotopes. In the future, AtkinsRéalis is working to make it even easier to produce medical isotopes, using purpose-built access ports to take our production to the next level through the design of a new MONARK CANDU reactor.
