Gam Ma Irradiator

Gam Ma irradiator

Gamma irradiation - an installation for accelerated processes of radiation chemistry, radiobiology, nuclear energy based on the use of the X-ray spectrum when irradiating individual elements with gamma radiation quanta with an energy of 0.1 to 3 MeV and using nuclear physical methods for processing solutions.

The gamma source device is one of the main parts of the ITOS complex. Gamma radiation sources of type A-01 and A-11 supply radiation to the sample preparation module (irradiation procedure), consisting of seven blocks. On preparation blocks, two main methods of sample preparation are used: 1) Method of determining the parameters of a source of radiating particles on independent and parallel sections of blocks 2) Method of using modules of independent radiation sources. The system has a variant of each block with different combinations of controls. Intraatomic bonds between atomic nuclei of certain stable and radioactive isotopes, when some of these nuclei transition to excited states, are destroyed with the emission of gamma quanta of a certain energy. Nuclei that have the ability to emit gamma rays with a certain energy are called isotopes of gamma rays. As a result of thermonuclear reactions and gamma radiation, hydrogen atoms and other light elements are excited, and heavy atoms are fissioned. The energy of gamma-ray quanta is inversely proportional to the half-life of radioactive sources of the material of the irradiated sample.
