Westinghouse, Nordion, and PSEG team up to produce Co‑60 in the United States
This past January, Westinghouse Electric Company, Nordion, and PSEG Nuclear formalized agreements to implement newly developed cobalt-60 production technology at Units 1 and 2 of PSEG’s Salem nuclear power plant in New Jersey, with the Co-60 to be supplied to Nordion. Through an ongoing joint initiative, the companies aim to harness U.S. pressurized water reactors to produce a key medical isotope and build the first commercial-scale Co-60 production platform in the United States.

Measurements have been made of the angular distribution of fission fragments from 235U at three fast-neutron energies. Results are fit by the expression W(θ) = 1 + A2cos2θ, with the anisotropy factor, A2, found to be −0.010 ± 0.014 at 265 keV, +0.137 ± 0.016 at 770 keV, and +0.157 ± 0.019 at 964 keV.
