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.

Three-dimensional (3-D) neutron-gamma transport calculations have been performed for the LIBRA-SP chamber with detailed geometrical modeling and results were compared to results based on one-dimensional (1-D) calculations. The overall tritium breeding ratio is 1.396. This is only 3% lower than the value predicted from the 1-D results. The overall reactor energy multiplication is 1.157 which is only 2% lower than the value estimated from the 1-D calculations. Larger differences were observed in the local heating and damage results obtained from the 1-D and 3-D calculations.
