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.

Neutron spectra are measured by the time-of-flight method at laboratory angles from 15 to 120 degfor the reaction Ag(l4N,n) at 50 MeV/nucleon. All spectra are fitted with a moving-source model. The cross-section dependences on bombarding energy and on projectile mass are investigated by comparison with published neutron data from the reactions Ag(14N,n) at 35 MeV/nucleon and Ag(36Ar,n) at 35 MeV/nucleon. Application to biological hazard estimation is anticipated.
