🇺🇸 BWXT, 미국 정부가 전략적으로 투자할 필요 있어 보입니다

This avenue of theirs's is half the reason i bought them last year and the other reason with the upgrades the Navy is doing.

Great company, sold way too early after buying at 88

As a PhD in Biochemistry & Biophysics, putting radioactive isotopes that emit alpha radiation inside your body is one of the sketchiest approaches to cure cancer out there, the most dangerous of all cancer therapies.

Even if you target it to the tumors with some antibody, it wont be 100% efficient, wont even be 90%, meaning you will have radioactive particles hanging out inside you blasting radiation at your organs for at least a month.

As it says in the post, ACT 225 is extremely hard to produce and it is not really scalable, governments arent going to pour half of their GDP into building reactors to produce actinium for a handful of useful medical cases.

Even the one they use now, It'll have a very hard time getting past FDA regulationns for general use and will only ever be use as absolute last resort in very specific cases.

The same principle behind the actinium therapies can be done with regular chemo -> you conjugate chemo to an antibody-> antibody carries drug in its inactive state to tumor-> once in tumor it releases and kills the cell. Immunotherapy that is way safer than radioisotopes.

People are also developing compounds that activate with a certain wavelength of light, so you ingest it and it distributes around the body, but it is inert unless its hit with the beam of light. They shine the light on the tumor and the compound becomes highly toxic, killing the tumors.

Bottom line if anyone reading this want to invest in biotech, dont do this actinium stuff do immunotherapy and light-activated drugs.
