The NRC issued SHINE the construction permit for the medical isotope production facility in
February 2016. SHINE submitted the operating license application in July 2019 and the NRC
accepted the application for a full review in October. The application, less proprietary details, is
available on the NRC website. In addition, the Hedberg Public Library, at
316 South Main St., in Janesville, has agreed to maintain a copy of the application’s environmental
report for public inspection.
