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 sealed-tube, high-current, low-energy accelerator (190 kV, 150 mA) in operation at the GKSS Research Center since 1981 is described. The deuterium-tritium reaction yields a total source strength of 3 × 1012 n/s. The neutron flux in the center of the hollow cylinder target is ∼3 × 1010 n/cm2·s in a 4-cm3 volume. Numerous 14-MeV neutron reaction cross sections have been determined with satisfactory accuracy; however, the system has been mainly used for neutron activation analysis. To predict the gamma-ray activity of any element after short-term irradiation with 14-MeV neutrons, a sensitivity study was performed, which proved to be a useful tool for analyzing complex spectra.
