Notes:
A new, versatile service irradiator is described which provides the necessary technical and economical characteristics for initiating commercial radiation processing of food. The ability of the unit to efficiently sterilize disposable medical products as well as to process a wide spectrum of food products permits the necessary economies required to test commerical loads under anticipated conditions. With fumigants such as ethylene oxide and ethylene dibromide under attack due to their potential carcinogenicity and environmental impact and with energy costs and food availability a factor, the food industry will take a hard look at a technology whose time has come.
