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 most general linear truncation relation for the spherical harmonic representation of the transport equation in three dimensions is shown in any order to be a partial differential equation. This equation is uniquely determined up to two independent scalar parameters in the time-dependent case and one scalar parameter in the time-independent case. In the time-dependent situation, one of the parameters may be related to the other parameter, which is pertinent to the time-independent limit, in such a way as to give correct retardation in all orders.
