Cobalt-60 - Wikipedia
For example, 2.8 GBq or 60 μg of 60 Co, generates a dose of 1 mSv at 1 meter away, within an hour. The swallowing of 60 Co reduces the distance to a few millimeters, and the same dose is achieved within seconds. Test sources, such as those used for school experiments, have an activity of <100 kBq.
Cobalt-60 Supply | Nordion
Virtually all Low Specific Activity (LSA) Cobalt-60 for sterilization and radiation processing is produced by nuclear power utilities operating CANada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors or light water graphite-moderated reactors (RBMK).

Apr 22, 2020 · What do you do if you find a cobalt-60 radiation source? “If you sprint away immediately, you might not die,” says Katie Mummah, a nuclear engineer and grad student at the University of ...
Drop and Run - Radioactive Cobalt-60 (Co-60) Source
Jan 23, 2024 · Co-60 (Cobalt-60) - this specifies the type of radioactive material contained inside the source casing. Co-60 is an artificially made radionuclide, generally created in a nuclear reactor by bombarding Co-59 (naturally occurring and stable) with neutrons.
Cobalt-60 - Oncology Medical Physics
Cobalt-60 (60 Co) is a synthetic radioisotope that has been used in both external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy. 60 Co decays via β decay to an excited state of Nickel-60 which then emits two high energy (1.17MeV and 1.33MeV) gamma-rays.
Cobalt-60 - HBM's Nuclear Tech Wiki - ntmwiki.u-group13.org
Cobalt-60 is a highly radioactive isotope of Cobalt. It has potential applications in salted nukes. Currently, it has few uses and no major methods of production. It is naturally pyrophoric due to its radioactivity.
Cobalt-60 | Uses & Radiation | Britannica - Encyclopedia Britannica
cobalt-60, radioactive isotope of cobalt used in industry and medicine. Cobalt-60 is the longest-lived radioactive isotope of cobalt, with a half-life of 5.27 years. It is produced by irradiating the stable isotope cobalt-59 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
Viewpoint: The critical production of cobalt-60 in nuclear reactors
The production of cobalt-60 in nuclear reactors remains critical to healthcare and steps are under way to increase production. Cobalt-60 supply volumes have started to increase but not at the rate of increasing demand.
