A revolution in radiotherapy has been developing in recent years, based on more sophisticated targeting methods including radioactive intra-arterial microspheres, chemically-guided bone agents, labeled monoclonal antibodies, and isotopically-tagged polypeptide receptor-binding agents. The isotopes of choice for these applications are reactor-produced beta emitters such as Sm-153, Re-186, Re-188, Ho-166, Lu-177, and Rh-105. The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) has been in the forefront of research into means of preparing, handling, and supplying these high specific activity isotopes in quantities appropriate not only for research, but also for patient trials in the U.S. and around the world. Considerable effort has been expended to develop techniques for irradiation, handling, and shipping isotopes worldwide. The MURR has also served as a highly reliable production source for isotopes, with one of the best operating histories of any isotope production reactor in the world.
