Russia and Argentina continue cooperation in nuclear medicine

On April 19, 2018 JSC Isotope (enterprise of Rosatom State Corporation) signed with Laboratorios Bacon, S.A.I.C. a two-year contract for the weekly supplies of molybdenum-99 produced by JSC SSC RIAR to Argentina. The document was signed in the presence of S.V. Derkach, the Trade Representative of the Russian Federation in the Argentine Republic.

For reference:
Cooperation between JSC Isotope and Laboratorios Bacon, S.A.I.C. has begun in 2013 but was mainly limited to supplies for a period of Argentine reactor maintenance in order to meet the national needs of Argentina.

In 2017 the Russian side carried out a number of "insurance" supplies that prevented disruptions in the supply of medical facilities with vital isotope products in Argentina (about 70% of diagnostic procedures in oncology and up to 50% in cardiology in the world are performed with a daughter product of molybdenum-99 - technetium-99m). The competence of the Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation enterprises regarding production of the medical isotopes convinced the Argentine side to continue the mutually beneficial partnership that as a result contributed to the signature of the two-year contract.

JSC Isotope - Joint Stock Company Isotope is a vital link that connects Russian isotope manufacturers and clients in foreign and domestic markets. JSC Isotope is the sole supplier of isotope products manufactured by ROSATOM State Corporation enterprises.
