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 transient velocity difference model called the dynamic slip model has been integrated into the FLASH-4 numerical scheme. The numerical scheme resulting from combining this model with the general purpose RELAP4 network computer code is described. The result is a code that calculates slip in all junctions both vertical and horizontal. Results of computations are compared to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission standard problems 1 and 6.
