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.

Radiological and environmental impact assessment models are important tools that support nuclear safety. The present study summarizes the upgrades of a research-grade model (CROPTRIT) with an emphasis on a soil submodel and the balance between air-to-plant and soil-to-plant pathways, together with the needs that must be accomplished by an operational model in order to be applied to nuclear facilities involving large tritium loads.
