We’ve extracted over 15 g of thorium‑229 so far.
Before this effort, only about 1 g existed outside Oak Ridge worldwide.
At full scale the recovery yields around 90 curies / year of actinium‑225, enough for 100× more clinical doses.
BMS acquired RayzeBio for $4.1 billion.
The Indianapolis plant ships each dose within 3 days (actinium‑225 half‑life = 10 days).
The best cancer‑killing atom we know of spent 60 years in a Tennessee stockpile slated for disposal.
