Series Description: This record series consists of annual fiscal-year cost-price studies for radioisotope production. The analyses include depreciation rates, reactor fuel costs, other AEC site charges, and cost adjustments. The reports list the isotopes produced; measurement units in millicuries (mc), microcuries (uc), and curies (C); isotope half-life; amounts produced and sold; amounts on hand and made available for sale; reported costs; fuel recovery costs; catalog prices; and amounts over or under the unit cost price (i.e., profit or loss). The reports recommend adjustments to the prices of individual isotopes. Isotopes included mentioned cesium-137, iodine-131, strontium-90, carbon-14, and cobalt-60.
