Anybody knows how Sm-153 is produced by this "sole source supplier"?

From the last 10K:
"Certain components of Quadramet, particularly Sm-153
and EDTMP, are provided to DuPont Merck by sole source suppliers. Due
to its radiochemical properties, Sm-153 must be produced on a weekly
basis by its supplier in order to meet DuPont Merck's manufacturing
requirements. On one occasion, DuPont Merck was unable to manufacture
Quadramet on a timely basis due to the failure of the sole source supplier
to provide an adequate supply of Sm-153. In the event that DuPont Merck
is unable to obtain sufficient quantities of such components on
commercially reasonable terms, or in a timely manner, DuPont Merck
would be unable to manufacture Quadramet on a timely and cost-competitive
basis. In addition, alternative sources for certain of these components may
not be readily available."
