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.

The superposition method for prediction of axial wall temperature variation, which has been specialized by Siegel, Sparrow, and Hallman, and by Hasegawa and Fujita, is presented in more general form. Operational utility of this form is demonstrated in a turbulent flow example with an alternate description of the basic solution for constant wall-heat flux. Application to gas flow problems with property variation is discussed, and results are presented for sinusoidal heat flux variation.
