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 novel application of the numerical Laplace transform inversion to the solution of the one-group neutron transport equation in a half-space with a distributed source is presented. Embedded isotropic sources are considered as well as distributed beam sources. The simplicity of the method in generating numerical results is demonstrated.
