  The search for gamma-ray line emission from the radioactive decay of 60Fe
figures among the prime scientific objectives of the INTEGRAL mission. 60Fe is
believed to be primarily produced in core-collapse supernovae, although other
sites, such as carbon deflagration supernovae or intermediate mass AGB stars
have also been suggested. We present first results of our search for the 1173
and 1332 keV gamma-ray lines of 60Fe decay in the SPI data of the first mission
year. So far we can only report upper flux limits whose levels are determined
by systematic uncertainties in the treatment of the instrumental background.
Once we understand the background uncertainties better, the SPI data should
provide stringent constraints on 60Fe nucleosynthesis in our Galaxy.
