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 RETRAN-02 analysis was performed for a loss-of-feedwater transient without scram for a Westinghouse four-loop plant with Series 51 steam generators. A goal of this study was to use the same plant parameters that were used by Westinghouse in a report issued in December 1979. The primary differences in results from the two studies can be attributed to differences in the two methodologies. Sensitivity of the primary pressure response to steam generator nodalization, turbine trip time, moderator reactivity feedback coefficients, and Doppler reactivity coefficients was also studied.
