First Russian Supply of Co-60 to Indonesia

back to contents

Rel-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.

JSC Isotope is the sole supplier of isotope products manufactured by the enterprises of ROSATOM State Corporation. The client book of the company holds more than 100 foreign customers in over 30 countries and more than 600 companies in Russia.
