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.

Particular numerical methods are described for solving the two-group neutron transport equations obtained in a companion paper. Numerical solutions are presented for the Milne problem and the constant source problem, and the results are compared with P1, P3, and double P1 calculations. The most interesting result is the occurrence of a resonance in the continuum expansion coefficient which appears to be due to a zero of the dispersion function Ω(z) in the unphysical Riemann sheet.
