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.

Eta of U233 has been measured in the energy range from 1 to 800 ev by counting fast fission neutrons in ZnS-loaded plastic scintillators; incident neutron energies were measured in a time-of-flight system with a betatron as pulsed source. The data are normalized at one electron volt to data reported at Geneva by the MTR group; the latter results were normalized to an absolute thermal value. Corrections have been made for multiple scattering by a rigorous single velocity analysis and by a Monte Carlo calculation which also accounts for energy degradations.
