RADIOACTIVITIES PRODUCED IN FOODS BY HIGH-ENERGY ELECTRONS. Summary Technical Progress Report for Period January 15, 1958-December 14, 1959. ReporT No. 10

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4132859
Research on radioactivity induced in food by radiosterilization with high-energy electrons is summarized. Measurements were made on individual food elements and on foods themselves and compared with computations based on empirical equations and with calculations of radioactivities by theoretical analysis. The results show that a small amount is added to natural radiation levels, the most important isotopes being Na/sup 22/, P/sup 32/, P/sup 33/, S/sup 35/, Mn/sup 54/, Fe>s55
