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.

The contribution of tritium fuel system construction and operation to the global COE and the life-cycle GHG emissions is analysed using PEC reactor system design code for both magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) reactors. This contribution is less than a few percents in the present model, but the CO2 emissions from the ICF fuel system are rather higher than those from MCF, because of the DT pellet fabrication processes.
