Beloit, Wis.
NorthStar broke ground in July of 2014 on a 50,000-sf radioisotope production facility in Beloit, Wis. The project will accommodate support operations for the company’s facility at the University of Missouri’s Research Reactor and is expected to reach completion by early 2015. A second construction phase will create a 20,000-sf addition and is slated for completion by year-end 2016. The third phase of development will provide a 100,000-sf building housing a linear particle accelerator for the production of Molybdenum-99, a radioisotope used in medical imaging; completion is expected in 2018.
