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 design of a tritium processing loop for KATRIN tritium source and results of test set-up operation are presented. The constant source intensity is supported by high purity (> 95% of tritium) of tritium circulated through the source with 4.110-4 g/s rate. The possibility of source parameters stabilization was verified with test facility "TILO" which was built for this purpose. The long term (30 days) deuterium circulation with flow rate 0.2 Pa m3/s shows that using of standard high accuracy pressure sensors from MKS and NI control electronics allows to stabilize the flow rate in the system with 0.1% accuracy. The reliability of process equipment was tested as well during about 3000 h of TILO operation.
