A FOOD STERILIZATION REACTOR. Reactor Design and Feasibility Problem
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4347254
A study has been made to determine the feasibility of sterilizing beef with reactor produced gamma radiation. Results of the study have been measured against sOecifications established by the U. S. Army Quartermaster Corps and against estimated results for meat sterilization with other sources of radiation. A conceptual design for a reactor-irradiation systcm, involving activation of medium in the blanket of a heterogeneous reactor, satisfies these specifications. It compares favorably with other sources of radiation. Further work to improve the reactor--irradiation system is recommended. (auth)
