Actinium-225 can be made in particle accelerators, but the product contains a trace of a long-lived impurity that regulators have not agreed how to handle. Settle the limit and build the hubs.
Proton irradiation of radium-226 yields actinium-225 with a small admixture of actinium-227 (half-life 21.8 years), while electron linac photonuclear and high-energy spallation routes differ in impurity profile. Without a harmonised monograph, each producer negotiates specifications with each regulator, slowing investment. The proposal is a joint European, US and Japanese pharmacopoeia monograph setting actinium-227 and other radionuclidic impurity limits based on dosimetry and waste handling, paired with public co-investment in three to five regional cyclotron or linac hubs sized for clinical supply.
