Abstract
The production process of cobalt-60 was simulated by a particle accelerator
in the energy range of 5 to 100 MeV, particle beam current of 1 mA, and
irradiation time of 1 hour to perform yield, activity of reaction, and
integral yield for charged particle-induced reactions. Based on nuclear
reaction processes, the obtained results in the production process of
cobalt-60 were also discussed in detail to determine appropriate target
material, optimum energy ranges, and suitable reactions.
