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.

Some solutions of the differential equations, which describe an elementary model of the disposition of material carried by a fluid flowing in a pipe, are derived and investigated. The solutions pertain to a variety of assumptions made regarding the initial concentrations of the material in the fluid within the pipe and on the pipe interior surface, and the concentration of the material in the fluid entering the pipe. The means of obtaining some of the model parameters using the derived solutions and measured values of the concentrations of matter on the pipe surface and in the fluid are illustrated.
