Funding
The development of the EMIS technique for stable isotopes was programmatically funded by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (U.S. AEC), the predecessor of the Department of Energy (DOE). As enriched stable isotopes of various elements became available, the use of these new, special materials in research grew, especially for neutron cross-section measurements. Research use generally involved small quantities of a large variety of isotopes. In many cases, the use of larger quantities of enriched isotopes for medical and industrial applications grew from the early R and D efforts. As applications grew, programmatically funded development efforts to supply isotopes for government research continued, and a sales program was initiated to provide isotopes to non-government, domestic institutions and foreign organizations. Prices were generally established by the incremental cost of producing
