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.

Classical anisotropic scattering in the laboratory is examined for a moving-target medium. Legendre expansions of the scattering probability function f(v’,v) are given in the physical region for the general case of anisotropic elastic scattering in the center-of-mass system, and the low-order expansion coefficients are listed. The effects of a moving medium are also studied in the angle transformation from center-of-mass to laboratory system, and kinematical constraints linking angles, masses, and particle and material speeds are listed.
