en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences in Serbia has signed a radioactive isotope supply contract with JSC V/O Izotope, an all-regional association under Russia's State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom, establishing a framework for continued cooperation between the two parties in the field of nuclear technology.
The contract provides for the supply of sealed gamma-ray sources based on iridium-192 and selenium-75 isotopes, intended for industrial radiography and non-destructive testing, thereby supporting quality control and safety in high-standard industrial processes. The initial deliveries will lay the foundation for long-term cooperation and ensure the supply of isotope resources for the research activities of the Vinča Institute.
The contract also includes arrangements for the return of spent radiation sources, following international radiation safety and environmental standards, and employing specialized transport and safety protocols to complete the material lifecycle management.
This cooperation also draws on previous experience in the supply of molybdenum-99 for medical use, an isotope used in the production of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals.
Vladimir Fesenko, Sales Director of JSC V/O Izotope, stated: "The signed contract confirms the mutual interest of the parties in long-term cooperation and its expansion into new areas, such as medicine." Slavko Dimović, Director of the Vinča Institute, noted that the agreement represents an important step in strengthening international scientific cooperation and enhancing the Institute's capabilities.
Founded in 1948, the Vinča Institute is a key scientific research institution in Serbia in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology. This cooperation is seen as one of the initiatives to promote the application of nuclear technology in industry and medicine.
