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.

In order to enhance the capability to perform realistic analyses of the core neutronic behavior and the plant system dynamics in respect of accidents with asymmetric core power such as main team line break (MSLB), a three-dimensional reactor kinetics model has been incorporated into a system thermal-hydraulic (T/H) code. In this study, we developed a PARCS core model for coupling with a TRACE 3D T/H model for the reactor vessel and performed a steady-state calculation prior to a MSLB accident for the Advanced Power Reactor-1400 plant.
