High Power DC Electron Accelerators of ELV-Type for Research and Industrial Application

Electron-beam technologies have been used extensively in radiation treatment of polymer compositions. The use of these technologies enabled to develop the manufacture of a wide range of wires, cables and heatshrinking goods, films, bands, etc. All of them are of high security and reliability during operation as under standard and extreme operating conditions. The powerful industrial electron accelerators are perfect instruments for radiation treatment of polymers. This paper reviews the development and status of the ELV electron accelerators that are intent for industrial application.
