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.

A representation for structured data is described that does not make use of a resonance parameter formalism and is applicable in a region where resonance parameters cannot be resolved or in a resolved resonance region where the precise location of a resonance is unimportant. Following the Probability Table Method, a representation statistically equivalent to a pointwise description of data is given but extended to characterize energy correlations. In the case of data from which higher order derivatives can be taken, a method for temperature broadening and unbroadening data is presented.
