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 computer routine was written to enable an efficient, yet accurate, interpolation of the basic probabilities required in integral transport calculations of single lattice, as well as multicell, structures. These are The tables within which the routine interpolates contain remainders between accurate probabilities to respective analytical approximations. There are ∼4000 entries for a cylindrical or spherical geometry and 50 for slab geometry. The accuracy is generally within a few tenths of a percent relative error for all the probabilities and can be much lower. The range of optical thicknesses covered is 0 to 20. All the probabilities required for a given layer can be generated on a CRA Y-XMP in a 5 × 10-6 s. A single Dancoff probability can be generated in ∼2.7 × 10-6 s.
