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.

Kalbach-Mann systematics are improved for application to reactions induced by 14-MeV neutrons. On the basis of this approach, new parameters for nucleon emission reactions are derived from Legendre polynomials fit 18- and 25-MeV (p,n) and 18-MeV (p,p’) data. For alpha-particle emissions, separate parameterizations are performed for equilibrium and preequilibrium components: Legendre coefficients obtained from Hauser-Feshbach calculations are parameterized for the former and the procedure used for nucleon emissions is applied to the latter. The angular distributions calculated using the present parameters show good agreement with those for 14-MeV (n, n’), (n,p), and (n,α) reactions.
