به خواندن ادامه دهیدCobalt 60 is produced in a nuclear breeder reactor by neutron bombardment of cobalt 59 and has a half life of 5.27 years. Co-60 is a superior radionuclide to alternatives, such as Ra-226 and Cs-137, because of its higher energy and specific activity (mCi/g) which allows for greater radiation output with a smaller source size.
به خواندن ادامه دهید1. Introduction. Cobalt is a valuable metal found in the earth's crust which is extensively used in a wide range of industrial and military applications (Tkaczyk, Bartl, Amato, Lapkovskis, & Petranikova, 2018).In recent years, due to the diverse range of its industrial application, the demand for cobalt has increased significantly and, as a result, …
به خواندن ادامه دهیدIts half-life of 74 days requires a frequent source change, every 3 to 4 months. Recently, machines using a miniaturized Cobalt-60 source are also available with a half-life of 5.26 years, requiring fewer source exchanges over the lifecycle of the afterloader. Dosimetric differences between Cobalt-60 and Iridium-192-based brachytherapy are minimal.
