The report makes specific recommendations as to how these objectives should be achieved, recognizing that the goals are most likely to be met by a carefully crafted partnership among industry, universities, and the national laboratories. To recapitulate: Enriched stable isotopes are critical starting materials for the production of many radionuclides; they are also unique research and diagnostic tools in their own right.

The research reactor at the University of Missouri is already engaged in this activity and should be supported by federal funds. Because reactors have finite lifetimes, the committee also recommends that plans for the Advanced Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory include a radionuclide production capability.

The Isotope Production and Distribution Program (IPDP) is imbedded in the Office of Nuclear Energy; the BLIP and Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility receive much of their operations money from the Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics in the Office of Energy Research of DOE; and the proposed NBTF effort and BLIP upgrade are projected to be funded from the Medical Application and Biophysical Research Division of the Office of Health and Envi

The matter of which research isotopes should be manufactured will be a central strategic issue at all locations. This NIP Advisory Committee should assist in prioritizing vital areas of critical needs in technology development, performing at the national level a function which is what a number of user organizations now perform at individual laboratories.

2. A national advisory committee should be formed to assist the National Isotope Program Director in prioritizing critical needs in technology development and in choosing among applicants wishing to use the reactor and accelerator isotope production facilities or obtain their products.
