The idea of using 212Pb for medical purposes germinated in the mind of Patrick Bourdet, Orano Med's founder. In the early 2000s, Areva (now Orano) looked at opportunities to use material derived from its core nuclear energy activities. Nuclear medicine and Targeted Alpha Therapy quickly appeared very promising: tangible scientific prospects but problematic supply of isotopes that could be overcome. With sufficient resources to produce 212Pb in larger quantities, the project soon emerged to demonstrate the feasibility of extracting and purifying this isotope. Successful results followed by conclusive preclinical studies
