IRRADIATION FACILITIES
Oral
Emerging applications drive development of new innovative accelerators. IBA is currently developing two new accelerators. The first new accelerator is a compact Electron beam accelerator called the TT50 allowing to produce beam up to 10 MeV. This accelerators is perfectly suited for industries sensitive to cost such as cargo screening, medical device sterilization or applications requiring...

MITIGATING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Oral
Since 1980's radiation technology has been introduced to pollution control, over the past few decades, this technology has been developed aimed at ensuring the safety of gaseous and liquid effluents discharged to the environment. It has been demonstrated that flue gas treatment (SOx and NOx removal), wastewater purification and sludge hygienization by radiation can be effectively deployed to...

IRRADIATION FACILITIES
Oral
Gamma irradiator technology has served the bulk irradiation industry very well. Sterilization of medical disposables has been the most popular application followed by irradiation of food and other products. However, it has faced number of challenges in its journey so far. The initial irradiators utilized Cs-137 sealed sources in highly soluble chloride form. Wet storage irradiators had risk...
