Technology Isotopes Science and industry Nuclear industry Laboratory techniques and procedures Technical education 20th century, late United States Europe

The aim of this paper is to provide an assessment of the spread of isotope-related techniques in Western Europe and the USA during the two first decades after World War II by focusing on structural features. In particular, I analyse three major components of the European isotope industry: radioisotope distribution networks, the establishment of training sites and publications in which isotopes played some role as the object of study or as research tools. This leads to an assessment of the importance of industrial applications of isotopes during this period in relation to their biomedical use and offers a transnational comparison in terms of productivity in material resources, workforce and knowledge.
