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 removal efficiency of methyl iodide for silver-impregnated alumina from gaseous waste has been experimentally evaluated as a function of atmospheric relative humidity. A new adsorbent has been developed for the iodine filter installed in the off-gas treatment system of a radioactive waste tank vent. To improve its removal efficiency under a highly humid atmosphere, the optimum average pore size of alumina was determined to be ∼60 nm, and the most effective chemical form of the impregnated silver was identified as silver nitrate. Holding capability of the impregnated silver was also improved by developing a double-pore-structure alumina.
