Article no. 09097-50

Function and Application

Sealed radioactive Co-60 preparation with an activity of 3.7 MBq. The emitter is fixed in a central blind hole of a stainless steel cylinder so that it cannot be touched and is supplied in a protective case made of lead.

Dimensions

  • Stainless steel cylinder: length 160 mm / diameter: 10 mm
  • Protective case with a central hole to hold the metal cylinder: height: 100 mm / diameter: 90 mm

  • Construction: enclosed preparation
  • Radiation type: γ
  • Half-life: 5.2 years
  • Nominal activity: 3.7 MBq (uncalibrated)
  • Activity Tolerance: +0% / -15%
  • Exemption limit for Co-60 according to StrlSchV: 100 kBq
  • Category according to StrlSchV: preparation requiring a handling permit regulations The activity of this preparation is above the exemption limit specified in the StrlSchV (37 times the current exemption limit).

 

Note

In the Federal Republic of Germany, approval from the responsible supervisory authorities is therefore mandatory when handling this preparation. This means that the preparation can only be handed over upon presentation of an official handling permit. In other countries, other official requirements apply when handling radioactive substances.
