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 simple and convenient method is developed to account for the neutron resonance mismatches due to the composition dissimilitude in the vicinity of gross region interfaces. It is shown that the effective resonance cross sections near a region interface can be obtained from the table-look-up of a cross-section set. The numerical results obtained with the present method are shown to be in an excellent agreement with the exact calculations using a computer code.
