Three companies received DOE cooperative agreements to produce Mo-99 in the U.S.

• $15 million matching grant funding offers were provided to three companies, Niowave, Inc., in Lansing, Michigan, NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes, LLC, in Beloit, Wisconsin and SHINE Medical Technologies, located in Janesville, Wisconsin.  Lisa E. Gordon-Hagerty, DOE undersecretary for nuclear security and NNSA administrator, said in a statement,  “These agreements will facilitate its [the United States] domestic production without highly enriched uranium, greatly reducing the potential for proliferation of nuclear materials.”

One other company is negotiating with DOE for a similar matching grant.
