Ba
10.75 a
Ba-133
I
Industrially used material
Used in nuclear medicine for patient attenuation correction during an
imaging technique (i.e. S.P.E.C.T. imaging) for yielding 3D information
of the patient’s internal organs, etc.
Bismuth
207

Bi
38 a
Bi-207
I
Industrially used material
Principle use is for research and may be found as a by-product of pro-
ton reactions with lead.
Cadmium

Cd
463 d
Cd-109
I
Industrially used material
Used to analyze metal alloys when checking stock and also sorting
scrap.
Cesium
134
55
Cs
2.07 a
Cs-134
I
Industrially used material
Used as a tracer for radiation leaks. This nuclide is a ission product
in nuclear reactors. It can occur in the radioactive fall-out resulting
from hazardous incidents in nuclear power plants.
137

Cs
30.07 a
Cs-137
I
Industrially used material
Used as radiotracers to measure and control the liquid low in oil
pipelines and to tell researchers whether oil wells are plugged by
sand. Utilized in density and ill height sensors to ensure the correct
ill level for food, drugs and other products. This nuclide is a ission
product in nuclear reactors. It can occur in the radioactive fall-out
resulting from hazardous incidents in nuclear power plants.

Co-57
I
Industrially used material
Included in medical in-vitro diagnostic kits, it is commonly used as a
radiological “marker” to estimate organ size.
