Co-60 irradiated golf balls

Artifact Number:

2018-228

Description

MDS Nordion, the world’s largest supplier of Co-60, undertook a promotion program for its products and irradiated standard golf balls to promote the safe use of isotopes. The Company, located in Kanata, ON was formerly AECL Commercial Products Division before privatization. As indicated on the box labels, the Co-60 irradiation will produce some changes in the latex core of the ball but claims as to improved performance have not been scientifically proven.
