Original – A radiation teletherapy capsule:
A.) an international standard source holder (usually lead),
B.) a retaining ring, and
C.) a teletherapy "source" composed of
D.) two nested stainless steel canisters welded to two
E.) stainless steel lids surrounding an
F.) internal shield (usually uranium metal or a tungsten alloy) that protects a
G.) cylinder of radioactive source material, often but not always cobalt-60. The diameter of the "source" is 30mm.
Reason
Image is of very high quality (nearly 3,000x3,000 pixels) and conveys in clear, "encyclopedic" terms, the object it depicts (a radiation capsule). The drawing is very precise in technical terms, and the subject is very important for understanding the pivotal piece of machinery involved in the Goiânia nuclear accident of 1987.

  • Oppose Something like this should be a SVG file not JPEG. — raekyt 19:11, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This diagram is very well-done, but generally for technical diagrams we expect them to be in SVG format. I'll be happy to support it if an SVG version becomes available. If I have time, I might even do the SVG conversion myself (but I will most likely only become free in the summer)! dllu (t,c) 22:09, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
