Abstract: In 2012, the management of spent 60Co sources was carried out in a 1984-built irradiation plant, which isdiscontinued for many years. It is found in actual work that due to the time elapsed and poor management, there is incomplete source-term information, and external conditions for reconditioning and recycling are not available for them. Thelessons learned in the process of management are summarized, along with some suggestions for future work proposed.
