Description

Full-text:Sinagama irradiation plants have 362 Cobalt-60 pencil sources aged more than 20 years. Currently, Radioactive Waste Management Centre (WasTeC) is unable to manage and store Sinagama's Cobalt-60 pencil sources. Based on the market survey, the cost to return the source to the original country are expensive. Meanwhile, the Raymintex irradiation plant requires additional Cobalt-60 sources as the current activity is very low. Therefore, this research paper will discuss the feasibility study on reusing and recycling Cobalt-60 sources from Sinagama to Raymintex. Factors such as the activity of the Cobalt-60 sources, source dimension, the transfer method, and the estimated cost of this project are discussed. (author)
