Description

The industrial electron linac ''Elektronica 10-10'' has been installed in Experimental Plant for Food Irradiation (INCT) in 1990. The accelerator is a prototype unit, prior the use for food treatment a period of optimization was involved in its experimental operation during 1993. The accelerator is capable to produce scanned beam of electrons with the energy 10 MeV and beam power of 10 kW. Radiation dose at minimal conveyer speed of 0.25 m/min reaches 50 kGy. The role of the plant is to promote food irradiation in Poland. (Author)
