NIMI 2026

Nuclear & Medical Isotope Summit

September 16, 2026 | Washington, DC

Alongside US and allied governments and industry partners, the Critical Minerals Forum, a nonprofit, is hosting a one-day industry convening focused on a central question:

“What constitutes a healthy isotope environment in the United States?”

This gathering will bring together leaders from government, industry, research institutions, and emerging technology sectors to:

  • Identify and characterize real gaps across U.S. nuclear and medical isotope supply chains

  • Engage with cutting-edge research on novel and next-generation isotope production

  • Resolve data gaps to inform long-term frameworks for a resilient, commercially viable U.S. isotope ecosystem

​The day will span the full nuclear and medical isotope landscape—from established workhorses like gallium-68, fluorine-18, and lutetium-177 to an incoming wave of innovative use cases and isotope prominence, each bringing new handling and infrastructure demands—alongside the nuclear and industrial isotopes underpinning advanced manufacturing, national security, and frontier science.

Sessions will move beyond high-level market commentary and into the operational middle ground the industry actually needs: aggregating demand across a 5-10 year horizon, understanding distribution and access bottlenecks, and identifying where private sector and government can work together more effectively—including a candid look at what help, investment, or regulatory clarity industry actually wants from government, if any.

This is a working session, not a trade show. Expect roundtable-style discussion, panels, and small-group working sessions where producers, users, researchers, and federal stakeholders can engage directly on the questions regarding strategic stockpiles, single-isotope facility risk, and whether the industry would benefit from isotope pricing benchmarks.
