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.

NAÏADE 1 shielding experiments were performed in the shielding laboratory at the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (French Atomic Energy Commission) in Fontenay aux Roses during the period 1965-1970. These experiments consisted of studying either the pure thermal neutron attenuation or the fission neutron attenuation in various materials such as water, iron, graphite, concrete, and multilayer shields. A reassessment of the experimental results was made between 2003 and 2005, and the results were evaluated again during the period 2007-2008. For each experimental configuration, the fission neutron source of a converter was calculated by using the TRIdimensionel POLYcinétique (TRIPOLI-4) Monte Carlo code. A part of the experimental results has been compared to the results of TRIPOLI-4. This work will be continued to analyze other benchmarks with integration into the Shielding INtegral Benchmark Archive Database (SINBAD).
