Nusano, a physics company transforming the production of radioisotopes, today cut the ribbon on its 190,000-square-foot radioisotope production facility. The site will be capable of producing more than 40 different radioisotopes for use in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, as well as industrial applications, such as long-lived nuclear batteries.

On hand to help cut the ribbon was Utah Governor Spencer Cox. Surrounded by company employees, business and community leaders, Gov. Cox proclaimed the event as emblematic of the state’s continued leadership in life sciences and advanced manufacturing.

“Utah has always been a place where bold ideas take root, and Nusano’s new facility is a perfect example,” said Gov. Cox. “This work will deliver the radioisotopes needed for cancer treatment, advanced technologies, and national security. We’re incredibly proud to have another true pioneer in our innovation economy.”

Nusano combines time-proven technology from universities and world-class research centers with the company’s patented particle acceleration technology. The result is the first significant advancement in radioisotope production in decades – a highly efficient linear accelerator-based platform capable of simultaneous manufacturing of multiple radioisotopes needed across a variety of industries.

“Nusano is commercializing breakthrough technologies to enable innovation, improve human health, and power exploration,” said Chris Lowe, CEO of Nusano. “From our world class production facility in Utah, we will make radioisotopes in quantities and varieties unsurpassed by older methods. This will help address supply chain bottlenecks, support domestic manufacturing, and deliver life-changing radioisotope supplies needed for cancer care.”
