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 behavior of NAFION membrane was analyzed in presence of high activity tritiated water. The fundamental radiolytical processes have been analyzed by simulation, using quantum mechanical methods. NAFION and PTFE samples were immersed in water and exposed to gamma radiation fields. The samples were characterized by FTIR spectrometry and fluoride emissions. Self radiolytical processes were analyzed by storage of NAFION in high activity triatiated water. The induced modification analyses were carried out using FTIR and fluoride emissions characterization. The experimental results were correlated with quantum-chemical simulations.
