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 efficiency of four differencing schemes is compared for the two-dimensional neutron transport equation discretized on a mesh grid composed of equilateral triangles. All schemes are implemented into the computer code DIAMANT2 and verified using realistic model problems and check calculations with the TRIPLET code. The most efficient algorithm is chosen to serve as the standard solution procedure in DIAMANT2.
