Isotopes in Agriculture (1 Viewer)

[serge]

hello
would the irradiation of fruit using Co-60, count as an agricultural use of an isotope? I found it in a chem textbook so Im unsure about the physics side of it.
What use and isotope does everyone else have for that syllabus dot point?

Yeah I think that would count as a use...Tc-99m for medical use (cause we do the same thing for chem) is what we are doing in class.
