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.

Measurements have been performed at the Geel Linear Accelerator from 0.01 eV up to 1000 eV in order to investigate the normalization of 239Pu fission cross-section measurements. Two different experiments were performed using surface barrier detectors and a double ionization chamber, respectively. In both cases, the 10B(n,α) reaction was used as a flux monitor. The results indicate that the Weston and Todd data should be renormalized by ∼3%, resulting in a satisfactory agreement with ENDF/B-VI.
