The Australian government has launched a AUD30m (€18.6m) project to design a new nuclear medicine manufacturing facility to be built at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (Ansto) site in Lucas Heights in Sydney.
Acting minister for industry, science and technology Angus Taylor said the new facility will help to improve health care in Australia and will support nearly 1,000 highly skilled jobs across the country.
“Nuclear medicine is an essential part of an advanced healthcare system and helps save lives – that’s why we’re acting to secure a reliable nuclear medicine supply for future generations,” Mr Taylor said.
