Isotope Supply is Getting Low

Health Minister Mike Murphy says the supply of radioactive isotopes for medical use is improving in some provinces, but there is a small time frame for this province. The supply is steady for the next week, but Murphy says if the Chalk River reactor, which produces the isotopes, stays down for in excess of three months, than rationalization will have to be used.

Murphy says by medical direction those in the most need, or in the most dire circumstances will be moved ahead.
