- At the cobalt processing center, special robotic arms handle the hot Cobalt-60. You can view the radioactive cobalt, but only through thick glass. This glass wall, two meters thick, is impregnated with lead to block any radioactive leaks.

How to handle Cobalt-60: Don’t
Cherenkov radiation (blue glow) is pretty cool to see. Normally you only see that around the reactor core.
That's not true xD cobalt 60 is not used in reactors, or nuclear plants.
@@keithjones9054 sorry? XD did I stutter? I was talking to the OC.
@@keithjones9054 I recommend you read again, because that's what I said.
And also, I wasn't talking to you, I was referring to the original commenter, go to sleep xd.
@@keithjones9054 Nice. I’ve only ever seen video and photos of reactors.
@@bunnypastor8252 I think you were thinking too deep. Most the photos and videos of Cherenkov radiation is are pictures of reactor cores. It’s just an interesting effect.
Thanks I dropped my cobalt 59 in the wronge chamber and now it's cobalt 60
The window is made of a pane of leaded polycarbonate, 2 panes of leaded glass and lots of iodine substituted mineral oil between them. The reason they make it like this is because the intense radiation would quickly discolor the glass and make it unusable.
Yup, true fact
Before the hydrogen bomb was first tested, Leo Szilard demonstrated that such an arms race was folly. He pointed out that by casing a thermonuclear device in normal cobalt, the neutron surge from the second stage would turn most of the cobalt casing into Cobalt 60, where it would circulate as part of the mushroom cloud to descend later as fallout. If just 1000 tons of Cobalt-60 was created this way and transported to the stratosphere, it's inevitable dispersion would wipe out all multicellular life on land. That's how bad this stuff is.
Tim Rifat has been saying this for years. 👍🏻
Cobalt is actually to heavy to do that
@@RNA0ROGER depends on what it reacts with and/or particle size.
I’ll make sure not to accidentally make 1k tons of cobalt 60 then, thanks for the info ☺️
Leo Szilard is a traitor. He needs to be held accountable for his actions.
Oh good, I’m glad I saw this. I recently bought some and was wondering how to do it off in my brother’s room
Are you taking the trash out?
Yes.
While you are at it, could you also throw out this Cobalt 60.
Sure why not.
Little cobalt 60 for breakfast seasoned with iodine 131, a little strontium 90 for lunch, and cesium 137 late afternoon and off to bed..
how in gods can you lose material like that
Gary Lewis Delhi University had a gamma irradiator from 1985s which was left unused and finally auctioned in 2010, after which it ended up in scrapyard.
It still had about 17-18 rods of cobalt 60 (out of total capacity of 43)
Usually bankrupcy or wilful avoidance of disposal fees. Sad Sad Sad. There used to be a company in the US that would reuse sources like this for other equipment provided they still had reasonable activity left.
It happens way more often than you would think
Happens way to often
Running into this in the street is one of my worst nightmares, its statistical likelihood is near zero but it still terrifies me knowing this happened and events like in Goiânia has happened.
Just don't work in a scrap yard or visit abandon hospitals.
@@lordfabulous6198 i won’t but I don’t trust the people who work there to not bring it out into society because they can’t understand the symbols on the container or their symptoms
@@lordfabulous6198 or don't pick shiny metals that melt the snow around it :0
A glass window... almost TWO meters T H I C C
That type of glass window needs to be at least 10 to at least 20 m thick Or at least should be
Impregnated with lead
The glass window is also impregnated
@@djmars1983not really. A lead or boron impregnated glass can block a lot of radiation.
Also, those are two glass panes with mineral oil between them
@@djmars1983 You're really overestimating the penetration power of the radiation, the panels used here are thick enough to make the radiation effectively drop to background if you're on the operating side
Interesting info
I KeEP mY cOBaLt In mY lUnCHbox!!!
Bien fait pour vous
Carefully...Very carefully...
Not very relevant to me but it was interesting to watch.
Wow!!
If you pick up a piece of metal that is hot for no reason, drop it and run.
Swan dive into that water
+Adam Zupancic With the size of that glow (cherenkov radiation) I would rather be a few feet away after my swan dive.
Answer: You don't
Saben del biogas?
Wow
That horrible green paint, that sickly yellow glass... it's just like the boat I work on. Nothin' quite like getting your daily dose of zoomies!
The yellow glass is lead glass which causes yellow colour
U don’t happen to have their phone # by any chance, asking for a friend:
THX-1138 is Real!
1984 in mexico this radiation machine treatment was recycled. I'm pretty sure there are HOUNDREDS of machines made. where are they,??? why isn't no Gov looking for them I just don't understand.
Hmmm I'm actually a big advocate for nuclear energy......just DONT LEAVE YOUR FUCKIN MATERIALS IN THE STREET!! 😆😆

Dang India’s a disaster.
It's not just India. This has happened before, like in South America.
@@EnthalpyAndEntropy it's happened in like 4 or 5 different countries. The most 'famous' one was in Brazil. The Goiania incident. Same deal, couple dummies stole a teletherapy machine from a careless clinic that left it behind, they cut it open and Cesium 137 poured out of it. They were so fascinated by the blue glow they thought it was 'fairy dust.' The guy who owned the scrapyard was giving Cesium granules to people including his young daughter and wife. So all these people got infected from it and I believe 4 ended up dying and many others have permanent damage/ shortened life spans. It amazes me how ignorant people could be of radioactive items. You'd think someone along the way would've known what the ☢️ symbol means....
@@caveone-365 people are idiots.
@@EnthalpyAndEntropy
Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. It's just a shame that all these innocent people had to pay the price for their ignorance.
@@caveone-365 that's why I'm not having kids. Well, that and to punish my a-hole parents who desperately want grandchildren. It is the competent and responsible who end up paying for the recklessness of the ignorant masses. Some call it externalities. Others, collateral damage. One could point to entropy or inefficiency. If I have a kid and he's even half as smart as me he'll suffer immensely. His knowledge of the how and why would compound it. While the ignorant suffer it's mitigated by the justice of it and their ignorance.
There's nothing worse than Indian people talking english
?????
Sure there is... Indian people throwing gamma sources in the trash.
Yep
There's nothing worse than your f*ked up brain thinking everyone will speak a perfect accent when our mother language isn't even english lol also don't watch if you are that triggered just be an accent lol
Interesting topic. But all I understood is Curry Curry Curry. Try english speakers next time.
That seems to say more about your english skills than their speaking skills, jerry.
@Axel you're a racist
Comedy 2019.
racist
Lol I understood everything.
Racist shitass.
Both these reporters 💩 on the street
