IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO IRRADIATION EQUIPMENT

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4078288
Portable irradiation equipment is designed in which water serves as radiation shielding, eliminating the need of transportation of heavy shielding. The equipment con sists of an electron linear accelerator or some other source of intense radiation which can be switched off. water tanks surrounding the source, and a box trailer housing the source. Water is employed for cooling as well as shielding purposes. An electric fence can be erected for more safety around the trailer while the source is being operated. The equipment is suitable for irradiating foods on a conveyer belt, e.g.. potatoes. (D.L.C.)
