Groundbreaking research

Relying on its experience in radiochemistry and nuclear engineering, AREVA has developed innovative processes to extract rare isotopes derived from its industrial activities.
Patented advances in nuclear medicine
The group has invested significantly in these R&D programs, which are directed by AREVA Med and carried out at AREVA’s Bessines site in Limousin, France.
Some of these programs have led to patented innovations, including:
- an extremely efficient method for separating a chemical element from a uranium solution,
- a process for extracting thorium-228 from a natural thorium salt, which can be used to manufacture radiopharmaceutical products used in radioimmunotherapy treatment for cancers.
