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.

Electrolytic reactor that converts methane and water simultaneously to liberate hydrogen isotopes at very high conversion ratio was developed and tested. Addition of the second zirconia cell provides the capability of processing broad mixing ratio between water and methane by supplying or extracting oxygen. Combination of palladium permeation and electrolytic reactions was tested under reactor relevant tritium concentration in an integrated loop. Satisfactory processing of simulated plasma exhaust processing and tritium recovery was verified. Based on the result, a concept of the fuel processing system for fusion reactor is proposed and discussed.
