  2. Iridium-192 - Wikipedia

    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 ...

    192 Ir, which falls between the two stable isotopes, is the most stable radioisotope, with a half-life of 73.827 days, and finds application in brachytherapy [28] and in industrial radiography, particularly for nondestructive testing of welds in steel in the oil and gas industries; iridium-192 sources have been involved in a number of ...

    September 18, 1968 – F.R. Germany – An iridium-192 source was mishandled by workers, with one person placing the source in their jacket pocket. Six workers were exposed, with one receiving a 100 rad (1.0 Gy) whole body dose and 4,000–6,000 rad (40–60 Gy) localized dose to their pelvic and thigh regions. [4]

    In March 1984, a serious radiation accident occurred in Morocco, at the Mohammedia power plant, where eight people died from pulmonary hemorrhaging caused by overexposure to radiation from a lost iridium-192 source. [1] Other individuals also received significant overdoses of radiation that required medical attention.

    With Prescott out for the season, let's be realistic about the moves the Cowboys need to (and can) make. Also, Aaron Rodgers raises eyebrows within the Jets, the week's best throws, and much more.

  9. Commonly used gamma-emitting isotopes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonly_used_gamma...

    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.
