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.

According to the experimental data of total, nonelastic scattering cross sections and elastic scattering angular distributions of tungsten and its isotopes, a set of neutron optical model potential parameters is obtained. All of the reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, -ray production cross sections, -ray production energy spectra, and the double-differential cross section for neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, helium, and alpha emission are calculated and analyzed for n + 180,182,183,184,186,natW at incident neutron energies from 0.1 to 250 MeV based on the nuclear model theory, which combines the optical model, the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory and exciton model, and the coupled channel theory. Theoretical calculations are compared with existing experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B6.8 and JENDL-3.3.
