NUKED: Australia the nuclear power, with entX and Cyclowest
Description
Can Australia create a mine to lab to bedside production line for radiopharmaceutical medicine? It has the reactor, biotechs and the hospitals to do that last two, and even has a growing pool of expertise to run these.
What it doesn't have, yet, is many advanced manufacturers to do the first bits, the critical parts such as sifting through old mine tailings for precursor materials and making nuclear isotopes for industry use, such as clinical trials.
In episode 4 of NUKED we speak with entX managing director Bryn Jones and Cyclowest head of production Dr Jacquie Cawthray about whether Australia has the 'it' factor to go it alone.
Produced by Rachel Williamson and Charis Palmer. Music and effect credits to Ziso, Inspector J, Seth Parson and Boom Library.
