Excess Cobalt 60

[Jeffrey.Immel@srs.gov]

     Dear Radsafers, 
     
     I currently have about 771 pencils of Cobalt 60 available for reuse.
     
     About 168 pencils averaged 11.5 Ci/gr. with each pencil carrying 
     between 80-170 grams.  603 pencils are older and will have a lower 
     specific activity.  It is estimated that these are around 1 Ci/gr.  
     The total curie count for all the pencils is around 225,000 curies.
     
     The pencils are aluminum containers of cobalt wafers and are about 1 
     inch by 8 inches.  If you are interested please contact me at 
     803-725-1458.
     
     Thank you and have a good day!
