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.

Monoenergetic neutron transport without multiplication is considered in an infinite homogeneous medium with an arbitrarily anisotropic scattering law. Defining the effective source strength as the parameter β which appears in the asymptotic total flux due to an isotropic plane source of unit strength localized at x = 0, γo being the inverse diffusion length and a the ratio of absorption to total macroscopic cross sections, we have shown that in the series expansion of β in powers of the absorption parameter a, the coefficients βm depend only on the first m + 1 Legendre moments of the scattering probability.
