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.

According to the ITER R&D program, a full-scale vehicle manipulator for handling a 4-ton blanket module was fabricated and tested. The measured manipulator performance satisfy the blanket handling capability. In addition, a full-scale double-seal door was fabricated and assembled to the transfer cask to verify the docking and open/close operations for divertor maintenance. This paper presents design outline and performance test results of these fabricated full-scale remote handling equipment.
