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.

A method described in a previous article for synthesizing three-dimensional flux distributions is here extended to reactor kinetics problems and to lifetime studies. The method is outlined and some numerical examples presented. The results of these show the method to be a practical way of solving time dependent reactor problems with a detailed spatial model.
