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 deals with the analysis of the possible use of magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) to create a neutron source. We consider the configuration of the target in the form of an axially symmetric magnetic trap with magnetic “plugs” or so-called “probkotron”. Heating and compression of a plasma target in the magnetic field is studied numerically. Parameters of the neutron source based on plasma-jet driven magneto-inertial fusion with a cylindrical target are given.
