    Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope used in industrial and medical applications. It decays via beta particles with a half-life of 5.27 years. The major gamma emissions are 1.173 MeV and 1.333 MeV. A minimum ingestion of 200 μCi of Cobalt-60 results in a radiation dose of 5 rem to the whole body. Shielding materials like plastic, aluminum, concrete, and lead can block the beta and gamma radiation to varying degrees depending on the material thickness. Various detectors can be used to detect Cobalt-60, with efficiencies ranging from 1-85% depending on the detector type and distance from the radiation source.
