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.

This paper presents a model and a simulation code which study a Pd-based membrane reactor for detritiating highly contaminated gas streams.A finite elements method has been applied for evaluating the mass balance equations taking into account the isotopic exchange reactions equilibrium and the permeation kinetics.The code has been validated by comparing the results of the inactive experiments carried out on a prototype Pd-Ag reactor where high D/H ratios have been used.Further, a parametric analysis for evaluating the effect of the temperature and membrane wall thickness on the water detritiation capability has been performed.
