The nuclides zinc-65 and cobalt-60 associated with river-borne particulate matter are incorporated in sediment on the Continental Shelf near the Colum- ia River. Changes in the relative concentrations of zinc-65 and cobalt-60 and in the ratio of the activity of zinc-65 and cobalt-60 suggest that radioactive sediment moves northward 12 to 30 kilometers per year along the shelf and 2.5 to 10 kilo...

Infective larvae of Nematospiroides dubius attenuated by cobalt 60 irradiation are extremely effective at stimulating immunity. Previously, such levels of protection could only be obtained with multiple immunizations of normal larvae. The critical factor underlying this protective response appears to be the dose of irradiation given to the immunizing infection. Various doses of irradiation have...

Objective: The radiation dosimetry is the output measurement of radiation generating source/ machine and its ambition is to ensure that the teletherapy units’ outputs are within limits. In the current article, the dosimetry of Cobalt-60 (Co 60 ) teletherapy units at Nuclear Institute of Medicine and Radiotherapy (NIMRA), Jamshoro Pakistan was studied. As Co 60 is undergo decay process, the outp...
