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.

All cross sections of neutron-induced reactions, including energy spectra and double-differential cross sections for neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, helium, and alpha-particle emissions, are consistently calculated for the 209Bi nucleus at incident neutron energies below 200 MeV. The results are compared with existing experimental data.
