What about Canada?
And
now you ask what about Canada especially considering that its only
major neutron source is the aging NRU, could be that Saskatchewan will
be the scientific centre of Canada with its already operating light
source, add a new research reactor, and the sky will be the limit! It is
remarkable that Saskatchewan has realized the opportunity and initiated
its commitment... This is the link to the video
of the announcement for a New Centre for Research in Nuclear Medicine
and Materials at the University of Saskatchewan back in March: "The
University of Saskatchewan will receive $30 million in funding over the
next seven years to establish a centre for the study of nuclear medicine
and science.
"In the early 1950s, scientists at the University of
Saskatchewan pioneered the use of cobalt 60 for cancer treatment,"
Premier Wall said. "Today we are taking another important step in
re-capturing that international leadership position in nuclear medicine
and expanding it to include research in materials science and small
reactor design."
The province's $30 million investment in nuclear
research builds on January's announcement of $12 million in funding from
the federal and provincial governments to build a new linear
accelerator and support research into the production medical isotopes at
the Canadian Light Source." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0saRviWgEWg&feature=relmfu
