High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cobalt-60, 6027Co, is a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt. Due to its half-life of 5.27 years, 6027Co is not found in nature. It is produced artificially by neutron activation of 5927Co. 6027Co decays by beta decay to the stable isotope nickel-60 (6028Ni). The activated nickel nucleus emits two gamma rays with energies of 1.17 and 1.33 MeV, hence the overall nuclear equation of the reaction is
