Gamma radiolysis facility
In
the same building where the
accelerator is enhoused there is a panorama type semi- industrial Co-60
gamma irradiation unit also available for research purposes. The
activity of the source is 3.7*1015 Bq (100000 Ci). The dose rate of the
irradiation can be varied by changing the distance between the sources
and the sample to be irradiated. The highest dose rates are in the
range of 10 - 20 kGy/hour. The dimensions of the samples are
practically not limited: small samples and very large samples can be
irradiated homogenously. The samples can be thermostated (heated or
cooled), continuously bubbled by appropriate gases during the
irradiation.
