SPIC Isotope Unit Becomes First Chinese Firm Licensed for Bulk Actinium-225 Production
Start here
SPIC Nuclear Isotope Tongchuang (Chongqing) Technology, a State Power Investment Corporation unit, has obtained a Grade A non-sealed radiation safety license from China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment, making it the first company in China qualified to produce, sell and use actinium-225 at scale. Actinium-225 is a key raw material for alpha-targeted therapy of advanced tumors; current global supply does not exceed 8 curies and has long been dominated by foreign producers. The Chongqing project is equipped with two proton cyclotrons (120 MeV and 50 MeV) under a Phase I investment of 918 million yuan. Once fully operational, it is expected to add up to 188 curies of annual actinium-225 capacity.
