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.

There is a need in the nuclear industry for a qualified digital Safety Display System due to obsolescence and reliability issues with the currently installed display systems. This paper describes a digital Safety Display System designed by Lockheed Martin Corporation. The paper describes how the Safety Display System (SDS) interfaces with the integrated safety system. The SDS provides the man-machine interfaces to the safety system. The paper describes how the integrated safety system and SDS complies with the design principles described in the Design-Specific Review Standard, Section 7.1, Instrumentation and Controls – Fundamental Principles. The paper also describes how an integrated safety system and SDS complies with selected guidelines of DI&C-ISG-04, Section 1, Interdivisional Communications.
