Electron-beam irradiations were carried out in the Yazd
Irradiation Processing Center using an electron beam accelerator
RHODOTRON TT200. This accelerator operates at 10 MeV and the
irradiation process was carried out under atmospheric conditions.
The samples were put on a conveyor belt. To avoid an excess
increase in the sample temperature a dose of 25 kGy irradiation
was given in every pass and the total irradiation given to each
sample was controlled by the total number of passes (e.g. a
sample needs eight irradiation passes to get a total of 200 kGy
irradiation). Dosimetry was carried out using cellulose tri-acetate
(CTA; ISO/ASTM 51650: 2005(E)). The total deviation in this
irradiation dose was about 75%.
