Nuclear medicine. The Russian-Bolivian delegation carried out a technical inspection of the cyclotron complex in El Alto. The preclinical cyclotron-radiopharmacological complex (PCRC) is part of the Center for Nuclear Research and Technology, which is being built in Bolivia according to a Russian project. All the radiopharmaceuticals provided for in the contract documentation have already been produced at the PCRC in pilot mode. “Thanks to Russian-Bolivian cooperation, Bolivia has become the first country on the continent capable of producing the rare radiopharmaceutical iodine-123, which is necessary for the treatment of thyroid cancer,” said Evgeny Pakermanov, president of Rusatom Overseas (part of Rosatom).
