Chris Wagner: The role of Eden Radioisotopes in the future of nuclear medicine
Chris Wagner has more than 40 years of experience in nuclear medicine, beginning as a clinical practitioner before moving into leadership roles at companies like Mallinckrodt (now Curium) and Nordion. His knowledge of both the clinical and the manufacturing sides of nuclear medicine laid the groundwork for helping to found Eden Radioisotopes, a start-up venture that intends to make diagnostic and therapeutic raw material medical isotopes like molybdenum-99 and lutetium-177.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Plant Reliability
Tuesday, August 6, 2024|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Banyan 2
Programs Engineering plays a central role in nuclear utility’s ability to operate plants reliably and consistent with regulatory requirements. However, the importance of these programs and innovation opportunities within them can be overlooked based on factors such as the US nuclear industry’s excellent safety performance over the last 20+ years and lack of historical perspective resulting from a shifting nuclear workforce age demographic. This session will demonstrate why a strong Programs Engineering Organization is critical to plant reliability. The session will provide a historical perspective for many of the programs, why they still matter utilities look to push plant life to 80 or 100 years to bridge the gap to next generation nuclear deployment, and what innovations are occurring within utility programs to enhance plant reliability, reduce costs, and ensure safe, clean energy for decades to come.
