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.

This paper describes a technique for simulating the neutron diffusion equations by an electrical analogy of a transmission line. The analog may be constructed for single or multienergy groups in one, two, or three dimensions. This paper presents examples of one-dimensional systems studied by one-group and by two-group theory. The technique is considered to be especially useful for the instruction of students because it enables them to obtain an insight into the characteristics of the solution and to gain an appreciation of the factors which affect the results.
