    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium-192

    Iridium-192 (symbol 192 Ir) is a radioactive isotope of iridium, with a half-life of 73.827 days. [1] It decays by emitting beta (β) particles and gamma (γ) radiation. About 96% of 192 Ir decays occur via emission of β and γ radiation, leading to 192 Pt. Some of the β particles are captured by other 192 Ir nuclei, which are then converted ...

    Iridium-192 (symbol 192 Ir) is a radioactive isotope of iridium, with a half-life of 73.83 days. [11] It decays by emitting beta (β) particles and gamma (γ) radiation. About 96% of 192 Ir decays occur via emission of β and γ radiation, leading to 192 Pt. Some of the β particles are captured by other 192 Ir nuclei, which are then converted ...

    Cobalt-60 tends to be used in teletherapy units as a higher photon energy alternative to caesium-137, while iridium-192 tends to be used in a different mode of therapy, internal radiotherapy or brachytherapy. The iridium wires for brachytherapy are a palladium-coated iridium/palladium alloy wire made radioactive by neutron activation.

    If the delivery failure message says the account doesn't exist double check the spelling of the address you entered. A single misplaced letter could cause a delivery failure. If the message keeps getting bounced back, make sure the account is closed or hasn't been moved.

  9. Radionuclide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radionuclide

    These neutrons activate elements placed within the reactor. A typical product from a nuclear reactor is iridium-192. The elements that have a large propensity to take up the neutrons in the reactor are said to have a high neutron cross-section. Particle accelerators such as cyclotrons accelerate particles to bombard a target to produce ...
