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.

As the second part of this series, this paper describes the application of the statistical theory and multilevel formulation to the reactor Doppler effect studies. Analytical studies were carried out on the basis of the narrow resonance approximation. The studies were made in both the high-energy and the intermediate-energy regions, which are of great interest in fast reactor Doppler effect calculations. Some qualitative conclusions on the influence of the multilevel interference effect on the Doppler effect of fissile isotopes are also given.
