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.

Fast neutron scattering cross sections have been measured for 13C Angular distributions for elastic scattering over an angular range from 20 to 155 deg are presented for incident neutron energies of 9.97, 11.96, 13.94, 15.94, and 17.92 MeV. Inelastic scattering data were obtained at 9.97 MeV for states at excitation energy 3.09 MeV and for the unresolved states at 3.68 and 3.85 MeV. The data were corrected for finite sample and source effects using a Monte Carlo simulation. Legendre polynomial coefficients for angular distributions and optical model fits to the elastic scattering data are reported.
