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.

The scalar neutron spectrum per source neutron was measured with a miniature NE-213 spectrometer at several positions in water irradiated with deuterium-tritium neutrons. The measured spectrum was compared with a calculated one using the MORSE-GG Monte Carlo code with a modified point-detector estimator presented by Carter and Cashwell and the GICXFNS group cross-section set processed from the ENDF/B-IV library. The measured and calculated spectra agreed within the errors estimated from the statistical error and unfolding oscillations.
