The radioisotope cobalt-60, with a half-life of 5.27 years (1925.3 days) through beta ((3) emission, decays to form the stable element nickel-60. It is used to test welds and metal casts for flaws, to irradiate food crops to prolong freshness, as a portable source of ionizing gamma (Y) radiation, for radiation research, and for a medical source of radiation to treat cancers and other diseases. [Pg.107]
