Research Focus Areas
Actinium-225
Nu Planet is focused on induced decay of Thorium-229 to produce Actinium-225 (Ac-225). Ac-225 is used in Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) treatment of late-stage, metastatic prostate cancer.
Alphavoltaic Space Batteries
Nu Planet demonstrated the production and feasibility of alphavoltaic space batteries through a National Science Foundations Small Business Innovative Research Phase I award. Further studies will include the mission-specific customizable batteries.
Micro Power Systems
Generation of otherwise unavailable alpha-emitting isotopes provides the potential to harness much greater power levels in smaller packages, such as bioimplantables and remote applications.
