In early 2023, one of the first two really big radiopharmaceutical drugs ran into a problem. Novartis' prostate cancer therapy Pluvicto, released only the year before, was suddenly in short supply, snarling up just in time treatment schedules.

In episode 2 of NUKED we explore where the nukes come from, and how biotechs large and small get their hands on them.
