webfact Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Russian Nuclear Tech For Thailand By The Nation Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation (ROSATOM) and Kinetics Corporation Ltd (Thailand) will supply a cyclotron complex with radiochemical laboratories to the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT). Following the results of the procedure conducted by TINT, Kinetics Corporation – with its offer based on ROSATOM’s technologies – was awarded a turn-key contract. The facility will be located at Ongkharak Nuclear Research Centre in Nakhon Nayok province. The project is expected to be implemented within three and a half years.

Cyclotrons are particle accelerators (such as protons). They are used in various fields of research. Some are used to treat cancer where a beam of protons is focused on the cancer. Other uses are astrophysics etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchonrocks Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 1 hour ago, soalbundy said: What is a cyclotron complex ? medical facility ? It's generally used for medical purposes, yes. It works complimentary to a reactor generally in manufacture of specialist medical radioisotopes. Cut from ANSTO website: Atoms with extra protons in the nucleus are called neutron-deficient and are produced in a particle accelerator such as a cyclotron. Atoms with extra neutrons in the nucleus are called neutron-rich and are produced in a nuclear reactor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless someone teaches the meaning of due diligence and professional maintenance Not sure what you mean. This is not connected to fission or nuclear weapons. The main danger is lack of adequate shielding and proper maintenance where the workers or the patients in the direct local environment might be exposed to extra levels of radiation. During proton or positron production (a positron is the anti partner of the electron) some gamma radiation may escape (other forms of radiation have a short effective distance). Other countries in Asia have many units so there is no shortage of expertise and training programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
