A program for the production and domestic distribution of several important chemicals tagged with radioactive elements, for research, medical, and industrial use, was announced by the United States Atomic Energy Commission. For the past two years investigators have been able to get radioisotopes from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory but they have had to synthesize or manufacture special compounds in their own laboratories. Radioisotopes of higher activity are also available now from the Oak Ridge Laboratory, although special arrangements for their transportation must still be made.
