This product is mainly used for the calibration of detection equipment. among them:
1. Cesium-137, the nuclide symbol 137Cs, can be used for gamma radiation sources of isotope meters, reference sources for calibrating radiation monitoring instruments, etc.:
(1) Isotopic instrument gamma radiation source: Because the 137Cs source has a long half-life, gamma-ray energy is low, it is easy to protect, and the cost is low. It is widely used in density measurement, thickness measurement, nuclear radiation weighing, γ-γ measurement Mine exploration and development of coal and cigarette density measurement, etc.;
(2) Reference source for calibrating radiation monitoring instruments: used for inspection and calibration of radiation monitoring instruments;
(3) Agricultural applications: irradiated breeding, irradiated food storage;
(4) Medical applications: sterilization of medical equipment, treatment of cancer;
(5) Isotope energy: used for isotope batteries and isotope heat sources.
2. The excellent nuclear properties of 60Co source make it widely used in disinfection, sterilization, food preservation, polymer material modification and other fields, forming a radiation technology with important economic and social benefits. It is characterized by energy saving, no residual toxicity, no waste, easy control, and can be carried out at room temperature. Therefore, it has important application value in traditional industry transformation, functional material modification, micro processing, and three waste treatment; especially in food irradiation storage and A considerable scale of industrial equipment has been formed in the aspects of preservation, disinfection of medical equipment, and modification of cable irradiation.
