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.

In this paper, we report the results of thermal simulations made for the cryogenic target of Laser MegaJoule (LMJ). Thermal simulations are done with FLUENT for a new 3-D model which takes in account the fill tubes of the hohlraum and the membranes geometry inside the hohlraum. Firstly, a 1-D simple analytical model was developed in order to help us to limit the number of simulations and time calculations. Then, with the 3-D model, we have studied the effect of external radiation when shield is disconnected from the cryostat and we have determined the maximal height of shield removal before the shot. Finally, we have studied the sensitivity of the target to thermal contact resistances.
