Nuclear Reactors Are Saving Millions Of Lives | James Scongack - Chair, Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail When most people hear the word "nuclear," they think of power plants and clean energy production. But every day, nuclear science is helping diagnose and treat millions of cancer patients around the world. Today, we're exploring one of the powerful new tools in our fight against cancer: medical isotopes. Our guest today is James Scongack, Chair of the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council ( ), a national not-for-profit advocacy organization that supports over 120 members from across science, academia, healthcare, and nuclear-sector organizations dedicated to maintaining Canada’s position as a global leader in the production of life-saving isotopes. The CNIC raises awareness and advocates for long-term policies that support health-care innovation and will save countless lives for decades to come. Under James's leadership, the CNIC launched its ambitious "Isotopes for Hope" campaign ( ), with the goal of doubling Canada's isotope production by 2030 while improving cancer care both domestically and internationally.
