1047. Radiometal-Theranostics: The first 20 years.

Frank Roesch

Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry, Labelled Compounds

Plenary

This HEVESY AWARD MEDAL lecture describes the dawn of radiometal-theranostics.
In the 1990ies, a team of researches at the Research Center Juelich, Germany, realized the need to quantify the radiation dosimetry of 90Y-labelled therapeutic compounds. They identified the positron emitter 86Y as an appropriate isotope to quantify uptake kinetics of the radio-yttrium labelled pharmaceuticals by...

980. Radiochemistry – just a tool or an essential part in nuclear science?

Dr Dorothea Schumann

Separation Methods, Speciation

Plenary

Nuclear chemistry works play an essential role in many scientific fields, be it safety of nuclear facilities, environmental science, radioanalytics, nuclear dating for climate reconstruction, nuclear astrophysics, basic nuclear physics or medicine, only to mention part of them. A closer look at all these branches of science reveals that the availability of well-characterised radioactive...

990. TATTOOS - Plans for The New Swiss Isotope Production Facility @ PSI

Prof. Robert Eichler (Paul Scherrer Institute & University of Bern)

Production and Application of Radionuclides

Plenary

With its continuous proton beam of world-leading power (1.4 MW), the HIPA facility at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) represents one major asset in the line-up of Swiss large-scale research infrastructures. A recent Swiss Research Infrastructures Roadmap Application from PSI and the University of Zurich (UZ) for 2025-28 named Isotope and Muon Production with Advanced Cyclotron and Target...

1085. European R&D in Radioactive Waste Management: relevant results and JRC contributions

Stefaan Van Winckel (European Commission, Joint Research Centre (JRC), Karlsruhe, Germany)

16/05/2022, 10:30

Chemistry of Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Radiochemical Problems in Nuclear Waste Management

Plenary

The Euratom Treaty provides the legal basis for “promoting and facilitating nuclear research in the Member States and for complementing it by carrying out a Community research and training programme” [1]. The Treaty also established the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is part of the European Commission. The EURATOM Research and Training (R&T) Programme defines the objectives and priorities...

1065. The radiological risk related to new nuclear propulsion systems resulting in challenges to monitoring systems

Prof. Jerzy-Wojtek Mietelski (The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN))

16/05/2022, 11:00

Radionuclides in the Environment, Radioecology

Plenary

The nuclear propulsion in application for space probes is developing constantly during last sixty years. At the beginning of those times the world superpowers were working also on nuclear jet propulsion for airplanes, where the heat from combustion of chemical fuel was substituted by the heat generated by nuclear reactors. Since the risk related with crash of airplane having nuclear reactor...

1048. Radiotheranostics of the tumor microenvironment: The magic bullet?

Frank Roesch

16/05/2022, 11:30

Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry, Labelled Compounds

Plenary

Different to specific molecular tumor targets such as the somatostatin receptor of neuroendocrine tumors and the prostate specific membrane antigen of prostate cancer more recently the tumor microenvironment has been identified as a suitable target for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Malignant tumors do not only consist of cancerous cells but also a vast majority of endogenous host stromal cells...
