irradiation facilities

Irradiation facilities are specialized setups that use controlled sources of ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays, electron beams, or X-rays, to treat products. This process can sterilize medical equipment, extend the shelf life of food, or modify materials for industrial use. The facilities are designed to safely contain and control radiation, ensuring that the treatment is precise and that workers and the environment are protected from exposure. Essentially, these facilities harness radiation’s ability to kill bacteria, viruses, or alter material properties without making the products radioactive.
