(OTCQB: INIS), a company that manufactures a full range of nuclear medicine calibration and reference standards, a variety of
Cobalt-60 products, and provides a wide selection of radioisotopes and radiochemicals for medical applications, calibration, and clinical research, has reported its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Nordion Acquires Technology to Expand Future Global
Cobalt-60 Supply
The IAEA periodically removes disused medical equipment and other sources of
Cobalt-60, a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt, from Lebanon to safe storage facilities in other countries.
Nordion is the world's largest provider of
Cobalt-60 used in the gamma sterilisation process as well as medical isotopes used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and cancers.
The present reported work was performed to compare the various aspects of the
cobalt-60 radiation beam therapy with fixed source-surface distance 70cm incident normally.
Throughout Glassbath, Hinton's more densely rendered and far-ranging compositions are interspersed with compelling miniatures (such as the atmospheric percussion of "
Cobalt-60"), and feature pieces for his inspired collaborators ("Scorched Earth and Empty Playgrounds" is inhabited by Edward Gavitt's dirty, desiccated electric guitar, while "Droplets" matches Peyton Pleninger's warmly arching tenor work with a cascading bassline from Nick Dunston).
However Iraqi forces discovered the
cobalt-60 machines had not been touched when they liberated the city this month.
A production line at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay creates medical products based on caesium-137 instead of the usual
cobalt-60, with a range of benefits.
A survey found no significant contamination but there were trace amounts of radioactive isotope
Cobalt-60 (Co-60) which has resulted in a warning letter from Natural Resources Wales.
A
cobalt-60 gamma cell irradiator is expected to be transferred to the Brazilian sterile insect technique (SIT) Moscamed center, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced at an expert meeting in Brasilia.
In 2014, a Sterigenics affiliate acquired Nordion, a provider of
Cobalt-60, an isotope that produces gamma radiation and is a critical component of the gamma sterilization process, creating the only vertically integrated sterilization services company in the world.
