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 total neutron cross section of 113Cd has been measured in the energy range from 0.025 to 1 eV with a crystal spectrometer using the Be(101) and NaCl(200) crystal planes as monochromators. A new method for second-order correction was applied, and the resonance at 0.181 eV was fitted to a Breit-Wigner single-level formula by the method of least squares. The resonance parameters obtained from the analysis are E0 = 0.181 ± 0.003 eV, σ0 = 7847 ± 187 b, Γ = 0.1087 ± 0.0033 eV, and Γn = (0.0791 ± 0.0032) × 10-3 eV assuming that the statistical weighing factor is g = 3/4.
