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.

Nuclear energy is already playing an important role in the energy transition by decarbonizing the electricity sector. In the future, nuclear can play an even larger role in decarbonizing other sectors of the economy, for instance through hydrogen and industrial heat production. Another barely considered opportunity for nuclear energy to contribute to decarbonization is to couple it with negative emission technologies (NETs). Nuclear power generates heat and/or electricity that can be used in various NETs to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Several types of NETs could be compatible with nuclear energy such as Direct Air Capture (DAC), biomass-based processes, indirect seawater capture, or enhanced weathering. This session will discuss efforts in the U.S. to investigate the compatibility of nuclear energy with NETs and this potential new market opportunity.
