Operation of the irradiation facility
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since 1973, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has
been operating the irradiation facility to support various research and development
projects as well as the industrialization of the radiation technology. The irradiation
facility consists of two Co-60 irradiators and one electron beam accelerator. |
