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.

System analysis has been carried out for a finding of key design parameters of future DEMO. The tokamak plasma parameters, which determine plant core performance and engineering requirements are searched. In this analysis, the plasma configuration based on ITER along with several physical and engineering constraints, such as plasma shape and plasma current, are given as an input. With this given constraints, parameters such as major radius, normalized plasma beta, toroidal magnetic field are investigated to look for a design of DEMO plant. These analysis results also would be used as a guideline for the possible design of the magnet and blanket.
