The cyclotron finally has a home.
It will be part of the new Health Services Centre being built next to the Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute on Oliver Road.
The $10 million plan for the TBRRI to produce its own isotopes for medical diagnoses and research for the city and beyond was supposed to have started last spring. But design and site planning delayed the project. The TBRRI analyzed several options on whether to build a stand - alone facility.
Ultimately it decided to include the project within the Health Services Centre, which will save more than $1 million.
