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.

A semi-implicit method for solving the full compressible resistive magnetohydrodynamic equations in three dimensions is presented. The method is designed for use in the modeling of fusion plasmas in magnetic confinement devices. The method is unconditionally stable with respect to the fast compressional modes. The time step is limited instead by the slower shear Alfvén motion. The computing time required for one time step is essentially the same as that for explicit methods. The code is applied to resistive instabilities in cylindrical tokamak equilibria.
