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 one-speed neutron transport equation with anisotropic scattering is investigated by the method of partial-range Legendre-polynomial analysis. It is found that appropriate conditions on the spatial moments can be specified by suitable integral operations of the partial-range polynomials. A numerical test suggests that such an analysis does possess potential merit for calculating some neutron transport parameters to a high degree of accuracy even in a low order approximation.
