Recommendations two, three and four of the expert panel have to do with research projects. It is probable that we may be able to produce technetium with this technology. However, marketing it would be another matter. The problem is that marketing would require a type of infrastructure no one in the world currently has. To try to produce technetium with cyclotrons, we do not have a robotic arm allowing us to work while protecting us from radioactivity. Staff is being irradiated. We do not have the commercial facilities needed to test the technology. It would require a $4-million to $5-million investment.
