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.

The low-temperature irradiation facility, Tieftemperatur-Bestrahlungsanlage (TTB), at the 4-MW Munich Research Reactor (Forschungsreaktor München — FRM) makes it possible to perform neutron irradiations at liquid helium temperature. Two irradiation positions exhibiting different neutron spectra are available. The possible integration of suitable measuring or transfer cryostats into the liquid helium circuit of the TTB allows the use of this facility for the study of a large variety of neutron irradiation effects in basic research as well as in materials sciences. Besides a description of the general experimental setup, some topics of current TTB research are briefly summarized.
