Is there nuclear fuel in radiation therapy machines

Nuclear fuel is generally not used in radiotherapy machines. Radiotherapy machines (radiation therapy machines) are devices used for medical radiation therapy, commonly used in cancer treatment. Radiotherapy machines generally use electron gas pedals or radioisotopes (such as cobalt-60) as the source of radiation.

An electron gas pedal is a device that uses an electromagnetic field to accelerate electrons and produce a high-energy electron beam. It does not involve nuclear fuel, but produces radiation by accelerating electrons through an electromagnetic field.

A radioisotope is a radioactive material that produces radiation. Radioisotope therapy machines (such as cobalt-60 therapy machines) use the cobalt-60 isotope as a source of radiation, but instead of nuclear fuel, it is a radioactive material.

It is important to note that the use and operation of radioisotope therapy machines needs to be carried out by healthcare professionals who are professionally trained and hold relevant qualifications. They will use the radiotherapy machines in accordance with strict safety standards and operating procedures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
