RADIATION (GAMMA, 1.0 E+07 RADS) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Gamma Radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelength, emitted by radioactive isotopes such as cobalt-60 and cesium-137. It is used in various industrial, medical, and scientific applications due to its penetrating power and ability to ionize matter. In the medical field, Gamma Radiation is employed in cancer treatment through radiation therapy, where it targets and destroys cancerous cells. It is also used in sterilization of medical equipment and food products, ensuring they are free from harmful microorganisms. In industrial applications, Gamma Radiation is used for non-destructive testing and inspection of materials, detecting flaws and defects. It is also employed in radiography, radiotracer studies, and research. While beneficial, Gamma Radiation is highly hazardous and requires strict safety measures to protect against exposure. Proper shielding, handling, and monitoring are essential to ensure safe use.
