Chapter 7.7, Problem 7.10.2PE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Cobalt 60 is given to be a strong gamma emitter and has a half-life of 5.26yr . The replacement of cobalt 60 in a radiotherapy unit when its radioactivity falls to 75% of the original sample is given. The time after which the Cobalt 60 needs to be replaced if an original sample was purchased in June 2016 is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The rate constant (K) is calculated by the formula,

    K=0.693t1/2

To determine: The time after which the Cobalt 60 needs to be replaced.
