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 computer routine was written to enable an efficient, yet accurate, interpolation of the basic probabilities required in integral transport calculations of single lattice, as well as multicell, structures. These are The tables within which the routine interpolates contain remainders between accurate probabilities to respective analytical approximations. There are ∼4000 entries for a cylindrical or spherical geometry and 50 for slab geometry. The accuracy is generally within a few tenths of a percent relative error for all the probabilities and can be much lower. The range of optical thicknesses covered is 0 to 20. All the probabilities required for a given layer can be generated on a CRA Y-XMP in a 5 × 10-6 s. A single Dancoff probability can be generated in ∼2.7 × 10-6 s.
