A medical isotope made from radioactive copper, called Cu-67, is an important therapeutic analog for image-guided radiopharmaceutical therapy for cancer and inflammatory diseases. Jefferson Lab is studying the viability of using its Low Energy Recirculator Facility to produce Cu-67 in a novel way, which may result in another avenue to secure this rare and valuable radioisotope for use in the patients who need it most.
The Jefferson Lab Activity Group (JAG) was formed to enhance employee morale through various recreational, social, and athletic activities. Part of JAG's overall function is to promote and implement new ideas in support of DOE and DC policies. JAG also monitors new and existing recreational programs to ensure benefit to the greatest cross section of the lab community.
