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.

Consistent calculation and analysis of neutron scattering data of 233,235,237U with optical model, semiclassical model including both the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory and the exciton model, the coupled channel theory, and distorted wave Born approximation were carried out in the En 20-MeV energy range based on the experimental data. In particular, the analysis includes the prompt fission neutron spectra and the double-differential cross section for neutron emission. Theoretical calculations are compared with recent experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B-VI release 6 and JENDL-3.3.
