If their shielding water were to leak away, they would give a man a fatal dose of radiation in seven seconds. The hot cobalt “source,” the most powerful yet released by the AEC, got its punch ...

At about 1:30 am on Tuesday, two armed carjackers knocked on the window of a white 2007 Volkswagen truck parked near a gas station in Tepojaco, a town in Mexico's Hidalgo State, north of Mexico City.

This is better, but radioactive material can still slip through. In particular, we’re interested in cobalt, which dissolves very easily in steel, so it isn’t as affected by the Bessemer or BOS ...

The source was a discarded medical device containing Cobalt-60, a highly radioactive substance. How did the radioactive material come into contact with the common masses? As per reports ...

Cobalt also plays a role in the superalloys used to manufacture turbine engines, as well as in the treatment of cancer with radiation from cobalt-60 and in medical equipment sterilization.

In external beam radiotherapy, radiation beams originating externally to the patient are directed towards the treatment site. These beams are usually created through the use of a linear accelerator or ...

MEPhI [Moscow Engineering & Physics Institute] is creating a line of instruments for radioisotope control of industrial ...

It is administered in two main ways: from outside the body using X-rays or gamma rays from radioactive cobalt; from inside the body by putting radioactive materials into the tumour, or close to it.
