A description of the electrolytic cell, the process of 57 Co electrodeposition, encapsulation
and quality control of the sealed 57 Co sources is presented. Sources containing∼ 3.7–4.81
MBq (0.10–0.13 mCi) of 57 Co were prepared, encapsulated in miniature titanium capsules
and subjected to quality control tests to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
The encapsulated 57 Co sources prepared by the reported procedure were found to be …
