Expanded U.S. Electron Beam Usage in Sterilization and Irradiation Applications: Assessing Opportunities and Challenges

Nuclear energy - The macro Illustration of the elementary particle.

In progress

Motivated by reducing hazards from possible use of radiological dispersal devices or release of potentially harmful chemicals into the environment, this study will examine options for broader use of electron-beam (e-beam) technologies in various irradiation applications, including sterilization of medical equipment and food irradiation as well as other industrial and environmental applications.
