More than 1500 electron accelerators have been used as intense source of ionizing radiation for implementation in industry a number of radiation technologies, like modification of polymers, semiconductors, radiation sterilization as well as for environmental protection. Cost reduction is one of the key factors of successful radiation technology implementation. Annual cash flow projections...

Contributed
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has a long history of running linear positive ion accelerators to complement its nuclear reactor research program. The first accelerator was a 3 MV Van de Graaff accelerator arriving at ANSTO in January 1964 from High Voltage Engineering Corporation (HVEC) in the USA. This machine was purchased for fast neutron cross section...
