On August 14, Orion ENC announced that it has obtained safety performance certification from the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) for its medical radioisotope (RI) transport containers.

These transport containers were jointly developed with the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute through the Ministry of Science and ICT's research project, "Establishment of a High-Energy Proton Beam Irradiation Target Transport System."

With the completion of this certification, the company can now ensure the stable transportation of various medical radioisotopes, including Germanium-68 (Ge-68) and Copper-67 (Cu-67), which are used in cancer diagnosis and treatment. The market for medical radioisotope transport containers is projected to grow to over KRW 100 billion by 2030.

Orion ENC is a specialized nuclear industry company with advanced technical expertise required throughout the entire nuclear power plant lifecycle, including design, construction, operation, and decommissioning. The company independently manages the entire value chain for the development, design, manufacturing, commissioning, and maintenance of radioactive material transport and storage containers, ranging from low and intermediate-level to high-level radioactive materials, supplying both technology and products.

A representative from Orion ENC stated, "This performance certification is an official recognition of our technological capabilities and quality competitiveness," adding, "We will further strengthen our leading position in both domestic and international markets by ensuring both safety and reliability in the field of medical radioisotope transportation."

Meanwhile, Orion ENC CEO Lee Woonjang signed a contract on July 25 to acquire management rights of Adbiotech. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders is scheduled for August 29.
