Cobalt-60 is Good for YOUR Health

REVISS attended the International Association of Ports and Harbours' biennial Conference and Exhibition that took place in Genoa in Italy at the end of May. Our objective was to raise awareness amongst opinion leaders in the shipping industry of the importance of cobalt-60 in maintaining public health worldwide. We wanted to highlight the impact that the denial and delay of transit for class 7 radioactive cargo has on healthcare for each and every one of us.

A solution might be to establish a sub-category of class 7 radioactive materials for healthcare and humanitarian applications that, by virtue of low shipment volumes, must necessarily be carried alongside non-class 7 cargo. The objective for this sub-category would not be to amend the current legislation governing the packaging and handling requirements for IMDG class 7 cargo. It would be, more, to add an easily identifiable label to assist carriers and port authorities in combating misplaced political and environmental correctness that has legitimised local regulation that threatens the very quality of life it strives to protect. Clear identification might ease justification of transit for this vital cargo that is equally important to public health in nuclear friendly and, so-called, nuclear free regions of the world!

Security of Supply of Iodine 125 for Prostate Brachytherapy
The Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) has finally abandoned the programme of development of two MAPLE reactors that were to be the first in the world dedicated entirely to medical isotope production and were forecast to meet the entire global demand for Molybdenum-99. This news must surely come as threat to the security of supply of isotopes used in diagnosing and treating cancer, heart disease and bone or kidney illnesses. - Click for more
