A ten kilowatt beam generator is as powerful as about one-million curies from a cobalt- 60 source (Murano 14 - 15). The electron accelerators produce from five to ten million electron volts and ten to fifty kilowatts (Murano 15 - 16). The electron beam efficiency can be increased by aiming the beam at a metal target, usually tungsten or tantalum. This produces Bremsstrahlung x-rays. This type of x-ray can penetrate a...

Science And Technology Food Irradiation
523 wordsFood irradiation has the longest history, more than 40 years, of scientific research and testing of any food technology before approval. Research has been comprehensive, and has included wholesomeness, toxicological, and microbiological evaluation. Worldwide, 38 countries permit irradiation of food, and more than 28 billion lb of food is irradiated annually in Europe. It is important to note that food irradiation has a pretty remarkable list of national and international endorsements: ADA, Ameri...
