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.

We describe the implementation of algorithms related to the delayed neutron production in photon-induced fission on actinides. The algorithms are based on data from experiments and have been implemented in the MCNP-PoliMi code. The modified code is being used to design and analyze methods to identify concealed highly enriched uranium with a system based on the use of photon interrogation and scintillation detectors.
