Welcome
Welcome to the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy's, Isotope Program.
For over 50 years, this program and its predecessors have been at the forefront of the development and production of stable and radioactive isotope products. Substantial national and international infrastructures have been built around the use of isotopes and depend on the Department's products and services. Isotopes are used for hundreds of vital research, biomedical, homeland security, and industrial applications that benefit society every day. Examples are heart imaging and cancer therapy; smoke detectors, neutron detectors and explosive detection; oil exploration and tracers for climate change.
