  schema:description "Most of the world's actinium-225, a rare radioactive metal used in some newer cancer treatments, comes from slowly extracting it from an old stockpile of another radioactive element. A different method — firing high-energy protons at ordinary thorium metal in an accelerator — can make much bigger batches, needed if actinium-225 treatments are ever to reach more than a small number of patients."@en ;
