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.

Linear integral equations for Chandrasekhar's S and T functions are derived from the solution for the half-space albedo problem by using the principles of invariance. This procedure is a generalization of the method by which the thick-slab asymptotic solutions for the S and T functions are obtained by combining the solutions for the half-space ordinary Milne and albedo problems. Approximate solutions can be calculated by iteration. Explicit expressions for the zero'th-order approximations are given in terms of Ambarzumian-Chandrasekhar's H function, and Busbridge's q polynomials. Case's full-range normal mode expansion is then applied to find the approximate solutions for the albedo problem. The method by which the approximate solutions for the Green's function problem can be obtained is also indicated.
