On 4th November 2021, BASIC and The Open University jointly convened a multi-stakeholder roundtable at the National Liberal Club to explore the policy cases for a ‘proliferation-resistant’ medical isotope reactor. The policy proposition has been developed by Professor William Nuttall and colleagues, who attended the meeting alongside a combination of policy and technical experts from the British government, civil society, academia, the private sector, nuclear science and technology, non-proliferation and the wider nuclear policy community. The meeting was held under the Chatham House Rule. ‘The Case for a Proliferation-Resistant Medical Isotope Reactor: Enhancing Nuclear Medicine Globally While Minimising Proliferation Risk‘ report describes this proposed ‘gift’ to the international community, and summarises the discussions and debates held during the roundtable.
