Eight accelerators would be used at the Janesville facility.[9] On June 15, 2015, Argonne National Laboratory demonstrated that SHINE's production, separation and purification process could produce Mo-99 which meets purity specifications of the British Pharmacopoeia.[10] The NRC approved SHINE's construction permit for a facility in Janesville, Wisconsin in late February 2016. If constructed, the facility would still require NRC licensing to operate.[11] In 2014 the facility was originally slated for opening in 2016, was then delayed to 2017.[12] As of February 2016, construction was planned for 2017 with production potentially beginning in 2019.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url = http://www.jsonline.com/business/shine-medical-technologies-receives-150000-national-science-foundation-grant-b99529497z1-310968511.html|title = Shine Medical Technologies receives $150,000 National Science Foundation grant|last = Gallagher|first = Kathleen |date = June 30, 2015|newspaper= The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|access-date = 2015-07-24}} 2. ^{{cite web |url= http://mo99.ne.anl.gov/2011/pdfs/Mo99%202011%20Web%20Papers/S11-P2_Chemerisov-Paper.pdf |title= Development of the mini-SHINE/MIPS experiments |last= Chemerisov |first= S. |website= Argonne National Laboratory |date= April 14, 2014 |accessdate=July 17, 2015 |doi= 10.2172/1132249}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite journal|last1=Noorden |first1=Richard Van |title=Radioisotopes: The medical testing crisis|journal=Nature |date=December 11, 2013 |volume=504 |issue= 7479 |pages=202–204 |url=http://www.nature.com/news/radioisotopes-the-medical-testing-crisis-1.14325 |accessdate=14 July 2015 |issn=0028-0836 |PMID= 24336269 |doi= 10.1038/504202a}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{cite web |last = LaMonica|first = Martin|title = Startups Race to Solve Looming Medical Radioisotope Crisis|website = Xconomy|date = December 18, 2014|url = http://www.xconomy.com/wisconsin/2014/12/18/startups-race-to-solve-looming-medical-radioisotope-crisis/|accessdate = July 23, 2015|quote = The company has supply agreements in place and plans to build a production plant in Janesville, WI.}} 5. ^{{cite web | last=Engel | first=Jeff | title=Deerfield Pouring $125M Into WI Startup Shine Medical Technologies | website=Xconomy | date=October 9, 2014 | url=http://www.xconomy.com/wisconsin/2014/10/09/deerfield-pouring-125m-into-wi-startup-shine-medical-technologies/ | accessdate=July 23, 2015}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1 = Newman|first1 = Judy|title = Environmental report supports SHINE Medical's plan to build radioisotope plant in Janesville|url = http://host.madison.com/business/environmental-report-supports-shine-medical-s-plan-to-build-radioisotope/article_fabdf313-fe5a-529c-a6c4-b025f25aaeee.html|accessdate = July 23, 2015|newspaper= Wisconsin State Journal}} 7. ^{{cite news | last=Gallagher | first=Kathleen | title=Shine Medical Technologies signs supply contract with GE Healthcare |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel | date=April 3, 2014 | url=http://www.jsonline.com/business/shine-medical-technologies-signs-supply-contract-with-ge-medical-b99239919z1-253794641.html | accessdate=July 23, 2015}} 8. ^1 {{cite news|last = Gallagher|first = Kathleen|title = Shine Medical Technologies raises $2.4 million|newspaper=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|date = September 3, 2014|url = http://www.jsonline.com/business/shine-medical-technologies-raises-24-million-b99343758z1-273765531.html|accessdate = July 23, 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.gazettextra.com/news/2013/feb/17/testing-1-2-3-shine-makes-progress-demonstration-f/ |title= Testing 1, 2, 3: SHINE makes progress at demonstration facility |first= Jim |last= Leute |newspaper= Janesville Gazette |date= February 17, 2013 |accessdate=July 17, 2015}} 10. ^1 {{cite web |url= http://www.anl.gov/articles/argonne-confirms-new-commercial-method-producing-medical-isotope |title= Argonne confirms new commercial method for producing medical isotope |website= Argonne National Lab |first= Greg |last= Cunningham |date= June 15, 2015 |accessdate=July 17, 2015 }} 11. ^1 {{cite news |url= http://host.madison.com/wsj/business/shine-medical-wins-nrc-s-ok-to-build-medical-isotope/article_971ae97c-9a7b-5147-8ded-07740210d37a.html |title= SHINE Medical wins NRC's OK to build medical isotope plant |newspaper= Wisconsin State Journal |first= Judy |last= Newman |date= February 25, 2016 |accessdate= February 25, 2016 }} 12. ^{{cite news|title = Financing deal for $125 million brings SHINE Janesville plant closer to reality|newspaper=The Janesville Gazette|date = October 10, 2014|url = http://www.gazettextra.com/20141010/financing_deal_for_125_million_brings_shine_janesville_plant_closer_to_reality|accessdate = July 23, 2015}}{{Subscription required}} External links
