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 magnet system of the full sized ITER (Final Design Report (FDR) version), has progressed to the point where basic sizing has been accomplished and local details are being addressed. The ITER US Home Team has worked on global structural models of the magnet system as well as local models of components that are strongly coupled with the global behavior. Areas of interest include the crown – monorail -slot interaction, proposed outerintercoil structure (OIS) cover plates, and case wall thickness studies. The root of the crown slot is highly stressed. Specialized fabrication techniques will be needed to eliminate flaws from this area to meet fatigue criteria. The fluted geometry of the outer cylinder was not found to contribute to the Out-of-Plane (OOP) support of the The inner leg. TF case thickness was studied and it was concluded that the sidewalls of the case may be thinned up to 7cm in selected regions between the OIS. A cover added to the outside of the middle OIS was found to improve the shear loads at the flange pins. The use of 20 vs. 10 support structures for PF 1 and 9, is recommended.
