Due to its long half-life of 1.5 Myr, the isotope (60) Fe is expected to accumulate in the interstellar medium, and the gamma -ray lines from the decay of its daughter (60) Co are expected to be emitted in a diffuse glow from the Galactic plane. We have searched for the (60) Fe lines at 1.17 and 1.33 MeV in the combined OSSE spectra obtained from the central radian of the Galactic plane during the first two years of the Compton Observatory mission. We will present the preliminary results of this search.
