June 17, 2009 --The Canadian Government seems determined now to get out of the nuclear isotope biz, supplying 50% or more of the world's supply, used for important --in some cases, essential-- medical tests, and cancer treatments.
The Government has announced that it is advising nations of the world, so other supplies can be developed... Not much comfort to patients now, who are getting medical treatment that is being compromised by the Canadian supply shortage.
It is said that many patients may be exposed to higher radiation doses, as their doctors are forced to use other treatments and tests, if the isotope shortage worsens!
