OVERVIEW   

Gamma and/or neutron irradiation of equipment, components and material can be carried out at nuclear installations introduced in this report. These organizations may be contacted directly, or irradiation programs could be organized and coordinated by the Radiation Safety Department of the Institute of Isotopes, Budapest.
