LIVERMORE, California, Feb. 27 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Studying radioactive materials is notoriously difficult due to their radiation-induced toxicity and risk of contamination when handling. The cost of the radioactive isotopes used in research also is a major barrier, with some costing more than $10,000 per microgram. Certain radioisotopes also cannot be produced in sufficient quantity so . . .
