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.

Differential neutron cross sections of 10B for elastic scattering have been measured for ∼30 incident neutron energies between 4 and 8 Me V. Neutrons inelastically scattered from the 0.717-MeV level were completely resolved from the elastic group except at the most forward angles at energies above 7.5 MeV. Generally, the differential cross sections are slowly varying with energy, indicating little resonance structure in this region. These data are consistent with earlier lower energy measurements done at Edwards Accelerator Laboratory and provide detailed data in a region where only sparse data were previously available to evaluators and designers in the nuclear energy field.
