- Chamber design
The chamber is completely shielded by lead to reduce the leakage of beam. Inside the
chamber there is a cooper filter with different thickness to adjust the quality of beam.
In addition, a rotatory table which can hold two irradiation canisters can rotate at a
speed of 4 rpm when exposure. With the moving slide, the rotatory table is able to
adjust the distance from the radiation source and radiation canisters.
- Dose Rate
Central Dose rate at 30 cm from the radiation source: 2.8 Gy/min (with water). This
value is measured through 0.3 mm cooper filter under the voltage of 225 KV.
- Safety interlocks
1. Irradiator cannot work under such conditions: the water cooling system is closed or
broken and the lead door is open.
2. The high-voltage generator will close the voltageoutput when there is any
malfunction with the irradiator.
