The radioactive isotope ._(27)^(60)Co which has now replaced radium in the treatment of cancer can be made by a(n,p) or (n, gamma) reaction. For each reactio, indicate the apporipriate target nucleus. If the half life of ._(27)^(60)Co is 7 year evaluate the decay constant in s^(-1) .

Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetic. The mean life and half-life of nuclear decay process are tau = 1// lambda and t_(1//2) = 0.693//lambda . Therefore are a number of radioactive elements in nature, their abundance is directly proportional to half life. The amount remaining after n half lives of radioactive elements can be calculated using the relation: N = N_(0) ((1)/(2))^(n) Half life of .^(60)Co is 5.3 years, the time taken for 99.9% decay will be
