Abstract :
The installation has been designed for processing of articles and materials with the electron beam. The beam is generated by the sealed-off electron gun of unique design and is extracted to the irradiation area through thin Ti foil with 20×10 cm2 area. The electron energy is up to 200 keV, pulse beam current -7 A. The processing is performed in nitrogen. Maximum pulse dose rate is 5×104 kGy/sec. The installation has compact high-voltage power supply, self-contained water cooling, and handy control with the beam parameters regulation within broad ranges. All the installation except the computer is packaged in one case with 2×0.7×0.7 m3 dimensions. The installation has its own radiation shielding and is safe to use: the radiation dose at any place outside the case is near the background radiation level
