▪ Gamma irradiation device used
for sterilization purposes
▪
Medical devices/products (e.g., stent, knee implants, catheter)
▪
Food/spices
▪ 40% of world’s medical devices
sterilized with cobalt
▪ e.g., syringes, gowns, masks
▪ Ontario reactors account for 50%
▪ High specific activity cobalt is used
for cancer treatments
▪ Under consideration for Darlington

▪
New isotope opportunity - in development
▪
Pu-238 cannot be used for atomic weapons
▪
Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG)
▪
Used in Deep Space Missions (with no solar)
▪
Examples: Mars Rover and Cassini Satellite
