Compare and contrast.
And
How do you think those two positions are compatible?
Does it only last six hours? In which case how can the USA with a 7 hour flight time from Europe import anything?
Or just maybe you really don't understand what a half life is.
The materials last longer than you are trying to convince us. There is a reference date on every batch and a formula to ensure the correct dose is based on how long after that reference date the dose is administered.
But if you disagree I'd love to hear how the USA, Australia and other places in the 60% of the world Europe supplies can import these things and still have them as usable.
Yeah. Half life of 6 hours, what sort of rubbish is that? Everybody knows that radioactive materials will last for millions of year. And hasn't the UK got its own reactors and Sellafield.
And
Did you stop to think why we don't already produce it ourselves? and why the reactors in Europe produce 60% of the world supply?
Why the USA, which consumes about half of the world’s supply of Mo-99, has had no domestic (i.e., U.S.-based) production of this isotope since the late 1980s? but instead imports from Europe, Australia and South Africa? Or why Canada, a previous exporter to the USA with 20% of the worlds production shut down it's facilities in 2018?.
