和平的政治论述标志着放射性同位素在生物医学研究以及在第二次世界大战后的医学诊断和治疗中的分布和使用。这发生在美国扩大和加强对欧洲促进科学和技术的影响的时代，这是一种合作努力，最初受到马歇尔计划的政策和预算分配的鼓励。本文介绍了西班牙两个研究小组的放射性同位素进口情况，一个研究小组从事实验内分泌学，另一个研究小组从事分子生物学研究。对于这两个集团来说，外国资金在其实验室的早期建立中发挥了重要作用。资金和以前稀缺的放射性同位素的获得相结合，帮助这些组织处于西班牙研究的前沿。
A political discourse of peace marked the distribution and use of radioisotopes in biomedical research and in medical diagnosis and therapy in the post-World War II period. This occurred during the era of expansion and strengthening of the United States’ influence on the promotion of sciences and technologies in Europe as a collaborative effort, initially encouraged by the policies and budgetary distribution of the Marshall Plan. This article follows the importation of radioisotopes by two Spanish research groups, one in experimental endocrinology and one in molecular biology. For both groups foreign funds were instrumental in the early establishment of their laboratories. The combination of funding and access to previously scarce radioisotopes helped position these groups at the forefront of research in Spain.
