Description

Uranium-233 is a fissile isotope of uranium with significant importance in nuclear science and technology. Its primary value lies in its use as a fuel in specialized nuclear reactors and as a target material for the production of medical isotopes. This material is essential for organizations engaged in advanced nuclear research, reactor development, and the production of radioisotopes for medical and industrial applications. We supply high-purity Uranium-233, CAS NO 13968-55-3, with strict adherence to international nuclear material handling and security protocols.

Application

• Fuel for advanced thorium-based and molten salt nuclear reactor research and development.
• Target material for the production of medical isotopes, such as Actinium-225, used in targeted alpha therapy (TAT) for cancer treatment.
• Neutron source in nuclear physics research and instrumentation calibration.
• Component in nuclear fuel cycle studies and safeguards verification programs.
• Use in the synthesis of heavier transuranium elements for scientific research.

Quality Control

Our Uranium-233 is produced and handled under the strictest quality and security regimes, compliant with international nuclear material accounting and safety standards. Each batch is rigorously analyzed for isotopic purity, chemical purity, and radionuclidic composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic assay, impurity profiles, and specific activity is provided, ensuring traceability and meeting the exacting requirements of nuclear facilities and research institutions.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, specially designed container, protected from all light exposure. Store under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. The material must be kept in a secure, authorized facility designed for the storage of special nuclear materials, with appropriate radiation shielding and criticality safety controls. Storage temperature should be maintained at a stable ambient range (15-25°C).
