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 dryout model, based on the drift-flux approach to the separated two-phase countercurrent flow system with interfacial momentum transfer due to interphase friction, is derived in terms of a zero-dimensional and quasi-equilibrium form. The predictions of dryout heat flux in a large-particle debris bed within an overlying pool of saturated water and with complete blockage underneath are compared with various models and with the experimental results, which are available from the literature. The comparisons demonstrate the adequacy of the presented methodology.
