Design of a medical devices sterilization plant with a 10 MeV electron accelerator

45 Pages

Description: The document will analyze the fundamental characteristics for the design and correct use of a sterilization system. A brief introduction to illustrate the characteristics of an electron accelerator and the possible industrial applications of these machines will be followed by the assessment of the risk associated with the use of a electron accelerator with energy of 10 MeV and power of 20 kW used for the sterilization of medical-surgical devices. The description of the characteristics of the irradiation treatment and the specific characteristics of the sterilization process are left to other works, below the aspects will be discussed radiation protection and safety related to the operation of the plant
