WEBCobalt-60, 60 Co. Cobalt-60 ( 60 Co) is a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt with a half-life of 5.2714 years. [3] [4] : 39 It is produced artificially in nuclear reactors. Deliberate industrial production depends on neutron activation of bulk samples of the monoisotopic and mononuclidic cobalt isotope 59.
