--- Quote from: Vgkid on July 29, 2019, 08:09:52 pm ---This has been an interesting read. Not the Isotope we focus at work(Co-60), and far less sensitive equiptment(but ancient, late 60's/70's gear, with new stuff sprinkled in) --- End quote --- Co-60 is really easy to measure it has very unique energies and timing that make it so. It also is a neutron activation product and happens in reactors as well as industrial metrology contexts. What does your work use it for? George Dowell |

understood vgkid, Yes it occurs especially easily in hi-tech hi-performance metals because they often purposely contain high % stable elemental colbalt. On the other hand all atoms of thorium are naturally radioactive, and thorium is used in high temperature alloys. George |
