Machine4
Scavengers broke into an abandoned medical clinic and stole a disused teletherapy machine. (fas.org)
The cobalt-60 was reportedly from an old teletherapy machine. (fas.org)
A fresh cobalt-60 source for a teletherapy machine could contain upwards of ten thousand Curies. (fas.org)
The indigenous Cobalt-60 Teletherapy Machine has a capacity of 200 RMM source and its source to iso-centre distance is 80 cm. (healvitagroup.com)

The effects could have been worse, but an extensive cleanup effort, costing tens of millions of dollars, captured about 1200 Curies of the estimated 1350 Curies of radioactivity in the disused teletherapy source. (fas.org)

Cobalt3
Cobalt-60 teletherapy : a compendium of international practice, a joint undertaking of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization / compiled by Montague Cohen and Joseph S. Mitchell. (who.int)
It produces a complete range of products such as teletherapy sources, high purity fluoride gases, cobalt sources and provides a wide selection of radioisotopes and radiochemicals for medical devices, calibration, clinical research, life sciences and industrial applications. (insurances.net)
