Improvement of safety and security are important goals of gamma irradiation facility upgrades, besides improvement of more economical and product quality related features.
Safety of gamma irradiators comprises three complexes which may require upgrades:
- Shielding of radiation when in operation and in stand by
- Protecting people from entering or staying inside the irradiation...

Abstract
Around the world, radioactive sources have been widely used for decades to benefit humankind—to diagnose and treat illnesses, monitor oil wells and water aquifers, irradiate food to eliminate microbes, and for many other uses. However, the malicious use of radiological sources poses a significant threat globally.
As Irradiation facility for research the goal of this paper is to show...
