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.

The HL-2M tokamak was constructed at Southwestern Institute of Physics. The support system is one of the main subsystems of the device. The magnetic coils and vacuum vessel are located and integrated by the support system. According to its function, the support system is divided into gravity support, support for poloidal field coils, and anti-torque structure for toroidal field coils. The structure design and the finite element analysis of the support system is introduced in this paper.
