Bruce Power harvests first HSA cobalt-60

Medical-grade cobalt-60, which is also known as High Specific Activity (HSA) cobalt-60, is a high-energy gamma-ray emitter and is at the forefront of innovative new medical technologies as its use can allow the delivery of higher doses of radiation to tumours with limited damage to surrounding issues. Cobalt-60 therapy is now being used as an alternative to traditional brain surgery and radiation therapy for the treatment of complex brain conditions through a specialised, non-invasive 'gamma knife'. This uses gamma radiation to focus microscopic beams of radiation on a tumour or other target, while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
