Westinghouse teams with Nordion and PSEG to produce Co-60 at Salem
Westinghouse Electric Company, Nordion, and PSEG Nuclear announced on Tuesday the signing of long-term agreements to establish the first commercial-scale production of cobalt-60 in a U.S. nuclear reactor. Under the agreements, the companies are to apply newly developed production technology for pressurized water reactors to produce Co-60 at PSEG’s Salem nuclear power plant in New Jersey.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Company, Ltd., has operated the Wolsong Tritium Removal Facility (WTRF) since 2007 to reduce tritium concentrations in the moderator and coolant of the Wolsong nuclear power plant. As a result of the WTRF operation, the concentration of tritium in the moderator and coolant significantly decreased from 2320 to 9.3 GBq/kg. In particular, the tritium concentrations of the radioactive waste directly affected by radioactivity in the moderator and coolant were reduced by up to 99% during the WTRF operation. For this purpose, a chemical separation and quantification method for tritium separation was developed, and its average recovery yield was 98%.
