Dosimetric evaluation of a chilled X-ray irradiator for high throughput insect sterilization
The current trend away from isotopic irradiators for the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) means that alternative systems are required. This paper describes the dosimetric assessment of a Precision X-Ray X-Rad 320 system with an integrated chilling system (SIT Module) suitable for the irradiation of chill immobilized adult mosquitoes. This system is capable of irradiating a load volume of approximately 4 L whilst maintaining a suitable temperature to maintain the insects immobile. Dose rates, dose uniformity ratios and estimated weekly throughput are presented for various configurations and energies. The throughput for chilled adult mosquitoes is sufficient for currently operational or planned mosquito sterile insect programs.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
