SNM Submits Letter of Support for the American Medical Isotopes Production Act of 2009
Posted: December 2, 2009
On November 30, 2009, SNM submitted a letter of support for the American Medical Isotopes Production Act of 2009 (HR 3276) to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. If enacted, the bill would help to ensure a domestic supply of the important isotope Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) within the US and to curtail the use of highly-enriched uranium (HEU) in radionuclide production as a non-proliferation strategy to deter terrorism.
The committee will hold a hearing on the bill on Thursday, December 3, 2009.
