Description

Our microtron lineup covers from 1 up to 20 MeV. An energy distribution less than 2%, and the peak beam current over 300 mA are achieved. So development of the laboratory size electron beam sterilization equipment (EB) with 5 kW beam power microtron is started. Because needs of small and convenient laboratory size EB machine as well as in-line irradiation are increasing instead of irradiation at the huge EB center. Our results of EB irradiation test of 1 MeV microtron show that 5 kW-4 MeV EB machine satisfies requested throughput. (author)
