Tomsk polytechnical institute induction accelerators used in industry, medicine and applied studies

Three types of betatrons have been developed: (1) small-size mobile, (2) stationary, and (3) high-current at energies of up to 50 MeV. Structurally all the betatrons consist of a radiator, a supply unit, and a control panel. Small-size betatrons, type MIB-3, allow manual transportation and can be used for monitoring purposes in regions difficult for access. Overall dimensions of the B18 mobile betatron permit its location in a truck body. Betatrons of the B-25/10 type are stationary plants. A possibility of the wide radiation energy control permits the selection of optimum conditions of radioscopy in a wide range of thicknesses of checked articles. The developed circuits meant for synchronizing the betatron radiation pulse with the moving parts make it possible to check the exactness of assembling. Basing on betatrons used in the defectoscopy several versions of medical betatrons have been developed. A rotation mechanism incorporated into these betatrons allows irradiation of patient's internals without great injures to surface and surrounding tissues
