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 HTR-10, which now is under construction, is the first high-temperature gas-cooled reactor developed in China. The primary loop boundary components of the HTR-10 are peculiarly arranged as the reactor pressure vessel stands side by side with the steam-generator pressure vessel, and a hot-gas duct vessel connects them. This arrangement can diminish the thermal loads on the pressure vessels but can cause some new problems under seismic conditions. The design features of the support system of the HTR-10 primary loop boundary components are introduced. The procedure of seismic analysis of the support system is emphasized. Based on equivalent-static and dynamic calculations, the safety features of the support system under seismic conditions are demonstrated.
