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.

A method of forming one-dimensional networks that are equivalent to two-dimensional wave propagations with fluid-structure interactions was developed. The method was verified by analysis of the simple shaker for a computational experiment by the use of the MULTIPLEX code for one-dimensional hydraulics with fluid-structure interactions. By applying the method of network formation, the Fritz-Kiss experiment was subsequently analyzed. In the latter case, the computed in-water frequency was 17.39 Hz, in good agreement with the measured value, 17.0 Hz. Thus, the MULTIPLEX code was verified for analyses of two-dimensional systems with application of the network model.
