(#22) Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope that is commonly used
for cancer radiation therapy. The cobalt-60 atom decays to the
stable nickel-60 atom, releasing a beta particle (electron) and
energy in the form of gamma rays:
If you captured the energy from the decay of a 1.19 g pellet of
isotopically pure cobalt-60, how long could you run a 60.0 W light
bulb? In hours
The relevant masses are as follows:
Gamma rays are massless.

1. Cobalt 60 is commonly used as a source in industrial radiography (nondestructive testing of steel products by imaging with gamma radiation). A typical Co source is 100 Curies. Given a half-life of 5.27 years: (a) Calculate the mass of Co needed for a 100 Ci source (Atomic mass = 59.9338 g/mole). (b) If the source is abandoned in a warehouse for 22 years, how many half-lives have elapsed? (c) How much activity remains?

Use the following information to answer the next question Food irradiation is sometimes used as a means of preserving perishable foods. A 320 g mass of cobalt-60 is used as a source of gamma radiation in an irradiation device. The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.3 years. As the radiation released by the cobalt-60 declines, the device becomes less efficient. The cobalt-60 also undergoes beta negative decay. 3. Complete the following: Determine the amount of cobalt-60 remaining in the device after...

.Bob is a radiation worker using a sealed radiation source (radioactive material) with a half-life of 6 years. The source is used in a system to detect weld flaws in pipelines. The source was purchased on March 7, 2000. It produces high energy gamma and high energy alpha radiation. On March 8, 2018 the mechanisnm containing the radioactive source was crushed by a large construction vehicle. The capsule containing the source was broken...
