Bruce Power announced today that they have completed another harvest of Cobalt-60, which is a vital resource in supporting the global fight against Covid-19 as it is used in sterilizing billions of pieces of medical equipment used by frontline healthcare workers.
The medical isotopes were harvested during the ongoing Unit 7 outage and sent to an Ottawa based company for processing.
From there they ship around the world for sterilization use of such things as surgical globes, single use medical devices as well as in the treatment of breast cancer and brain tumors.
