This session will present the option for domestic production of Cobalt-60 isotopes. Initiatives include the following: (1) Cobalt 60 growing market in need of new supply – Aging populations and increased access to medicine globally has given rise to increased demand for Gamma sterilization. Current Cobalt-60 production capacity will need to be replaced over time as reactors reach end of life. (2) A novel production technology for Cobalt-60 – Westinghouse is developing technology for the irradiation and harvesting Cobalt-60 in PWRs. The goal is to establish a scalable source of Cobalt-60 from US PWRs. (3) PSEGs vision is people providing safe, reliable, economic, and greener energy. Cobalt-60 production brings value to the utility and aligns with their vision and values.
