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.

The parallel implementation of three integral transport methods (collision probability, interface current, and current coupling collision probability) for nuclear reactor lattice calculations in two dimensions was completed. A description of this work and performance on the CM-2 and CM-5 platforms are presented here along with comparisons with the serial versions of the methods. For all three methods, the probability calculations proved to be optimal for parallel implementation. Similar success in the overall implementation was achieved only when larger geometrical domains were analyzed.
