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 steam line break (SLB) accident in pressurized water reactors is characterized by a large asymmetric cooling of the core, asymmetric stuck control rods, and large primary coolant flow variations. Because of these space- and time-dependent neutronic and thermal-hydraulic conditions in the core, former SLB analyses that used simplified core models were usually performed with many conservative assumptions. To clarify the complicated behavior of the core, the three-dimensional neutronic code CRONOS-2, the three-dimensional core thermal-hydraulic code FLICA-4, and the system code FLICA-S are completely coupled. The results obtained from the coupled codes indicate that the local thermal-hydraulic feedback effects are important in mitigating neutronic power excursions during SLBs.
