ENDING HEU USE IN MEDICAL ISOTOPE PRODUCTION: OPTIONS FOR RUSSIAN-U.S. COOPERATION

Moscow, Russia - The Russian nuclear industry has set for itself an ambitious goal of becoming one of the three top global suppliers of Mo-99, which is used in 80 per cent of the medical procedures involving isotopes. Growing Russian production could help stabilize the global Mo-99 market, which faced severe shortages on several occasions in 2005-2013. It is therefore important to identify mechanisms that could enable Russia to achieve that goal, while at the same time facilitating the Russian industry's transition to new market requirements for producing Mo-99 without HEU.

CREATION OF LASER ENRICHMENT LABORATORY IN IRAN: A TRUE STORY OF JEFF EERKENS

Moscow, Russia - When the laser was invented in the 1960s, one of the first areas of research into commercial application of lasers was uranium enrichment. Iran launched an ambitious nuclear energy program in 1974. It was one of the first countries to begin comprehensive research into using lasers for uranium isotope separation. As part of their research into molecular laser separation of uranium isotopes, Iranian scientists relied on cooperation with Dr. Jeff Eerkens, a leading American specialist in the field. This paper tells the story of how the US-Iranian cooperation in a field of laser uranium enrichment began, how it developed, and how it ended. It is based on numerous publications and interviews, drawing heavily on the author's personal interviews with Dr. Eerkens.
