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 in uranium depleted in the 235U isotope are analyzed with ENDF/B-III data, accounting for high-order anisotropic scattering. Two principal conclusions are made. First, changes made to inelastic scattering data relative to earlier ENDF/B files are not effective in reducing discrepancies between calculated and measured spectra. Second, changes made to unresolved capture data lead to significant improvement in the relation between calculation and experiment.
