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.

Absolute thick target yields, in terms of neutrons per steradian per triton, of the Li6(t, n)Be8 and Li7(t, n) Be9 reactions are presented. An angular distribution for 2.60-Mev tritons and an excitation function at 0° for tritons in the range 0.80 to 2.60 Mev are given. The Li7 yields are generally about three times larger than the Li6 yields. Some details about the neutron spectra are presented
