CONT

Actinium-225 and Bi-213 are derived from purified Th-229 at ORNL. Theoretically, there are a number of ways to produce Bi-213 and Ac-225. The only practical way at present, however, is to derive these isotopes from the natural decay of Th-229. The Th-229 is produced by the natural decay of U-233.
