Description

Abstract
The article discusses the experience work of specialists of the consortium as part of the  INP AS (Tashkent, Uzbekistan), JSC " JSC «Research Institute of Technical Physics and Automation»" and CJSC "Mounting Firm "Radiy" (Moscow, Russia) at utilization of 96 pieces of sources GIK-7-2 Co-60 of gamma installations of "RKhM-gamma-20" and "Issledovatel", including 2 emergency sources Co-60, their burial in specialization point for radioactive waste.   Also, the experience of specialists in the elimination of emergency situation with recharge a highly active source of GIK 8-4 Co-60 for radiation gamma therapy from emergency holder with crack to a new holder from depleted uranium.  The reason for the appearance of a crack on the body of the Co-60 source holder is discussed.
