Dear Radsafers,



pls help if you can re this exotic nuclide: Fe-60. Does it occur in Nuclear Power Reactor waste, or core (fuel rod deposition)? How can it appear? In the sixth edition (1967) of Lederer-Hollander-Perlman's Table of Isotopes there is hardly any information. Because of its 59 keV (Co-60m) gamma decay could be easily identified as Am-241 by the gamma spectrometer software, causing discrepancy with the alpha counts of the same smear sample population.



I've seen some documents (DOE? NRC?) re the permitted activity levels of Fe-60 but couldn't find anything else on Internet. Search or literature tips welcome.



Thanks and best regards,
