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.

For the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the European Union intends to introduce a test blanket module using liquid lithium lead. In the present study, a preliminary experiment was conducted using a LiAl/Pb assembly, which has a neutronics performance similar to lithium lead. The neutron spectrum at the inside of the assembly was measured with an NE-213 detector. We found that the spectra calculated with MCNP5 and JENDL-3.3 underestimate the 14-MeV peak by no less than 30%, while ENDF/B-VII.0 and JEFF-3.1 gave good agreement. The neutron nuclear data of lead stored in JENDL-3.3 may have some problems.
