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 same probabilistic approach is applied to the case of complex reactions, i.e., of convex combinations of single reactions. The dynamical systems obtained in this way are considerably more complex than those that arise in the study of single reactions. In particular, complex reactions give rise to higher dimensional systems and require a more sophisticated analysis. No complex dynamics is observed in this work, with the exception of those cases that are not physically relevant.
