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.

This paper describes an analysis of the Doppler effect of structural materials, having a possibility of the importance in fast reactor safety. The shielding factors of the effective capture cross sections are prepared for chromium, iron, and nickel based on the nuclear data of ENDF/B-II. Using these shielding factors, the Doppler experiments for stainless steel and natural iron performed in the JAERI-FCA cores are analyzed by a simple perturbation method.The computed results are in fairly good agreement with the experiment although they are a little lower. It is suggested that the lower values might be attributed to the missing level of the sharp p- and d-wave resonances above 30 keV or to neglecting the contributions from the unresolved resonances.
