First Russian Supply of Co-60 to Indonesia
back to contentsRel-ion is a major company in Indonesia providing gamma-sterilization service. The service range includes sterilization of medical appliances, disinfection of medical and food containers, and also raw materials for cosmetics industry. In the process of sterilization with a gamma-ray unit, bacteria and other hostile microorganisms are eliminated. As a result, the processed products become safe for their further use.
A gamma-ray unit requires a powerful source of ionizing radiation (IRS) to function, and this source is Cobalt-60. FGUP PO MAYAK, Rosatom’s enterprise, is one of the world largest manufacturers of industrial Co-60 ionizing radiation sources.
The supply of the sources was organized by sea. For 50 days the Russian sources made a journey from St. Petersburg to the Indonesian cost. In the nearest future, Rel-ion representatives are going to visit Moscow to discuss the details of further cooperation.
