Application
cobalt 60 is historically important for a lot of reasons, its involved in the making of nuclear weapons and was used in the well known experiment undertaken by C.S Wu where she demonstrated the non-convention parity. Cobalt 60 is also used in cancer treatment especially tumours of the brain because its so precise and clean cut. Due to this the medical field has been using this particular isotope for over 60 years. The treatment is also known as "Gamma Knife therapy"
