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.

To increase the electron temperature of the plasma in the central cell, electron cyclotron resonance heating (c-ECH) is applied. It is observed that both the density and temperature of the plasma decrease during the time of c-ECH, especially in the phase of wall conditioning. To understand the obtained results, plasma parameters including the H measurements at the central and anchor cells are studied. Simulation on magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) stability of GAMMA 10 is also done. It is suggested that sufficient value of the plasma in the anchor cell during c-ECH is necessary for MHD stability of the GAMMA 10 plasma. Related problem to increase the value of the plasma in the anchor cell is pointed out.
