A VERSATILE COBALT-60 IRRADIATION FACILITY
A new versatile Co/sup 60/ gamma-ray irradiation facility was recently installed at the Takarazuka Radiation Laboratory of the Sumitomo Atomic Industries Ltd. in Takarazuka. This facility, being capable of storing about two kilocuries of Co/sup 60/, was designed and built with versatility for many research purposes. The whoie unit is constructed in a hot cave with a viewing window of shielding glass and a couple of manipulators. The radiation dose for the sample to be irradiated and placed at a fixed position can be easily changeable by replacing the source pencil in the cage with the other ones. The experimental and theoretical estimation of the dose rate distribution around the source and in the labyrinth of the hot cave was carried out. Some features of the facility as well as the results of the dose rate estimation are described. (auth)
