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 development in convenient matrix representation is given for the first four moments of the neutron scattering kernel K(ν,ν’), for a monatomic Maxwellian gas with arbitrary dependence of the scattering cross section on relative speed. The availability of explicit forms for (x,x’), components of the moments in terms of dimensionless speeds, forn = 0, I, 2, and 3, as single-integral expressions facilitates the spherical harmonics solution of neutron thermalization problems through the P3-approxima-tion.
