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.

Expressions for point source Green's functions are developed which mathematically describe monoenergetic, neutral particle transport in uniform, unbounded media with particle absorption and azimuthally symmetric scattering of finite-degree polar angle anisotropy. The method of development follows closely the plane source superposition technique of Fano, Spencer, and Berger with the extension of explicit formulation of the relevant plane symmetry functions. Some limit properties of the derived Green's function are considered.
