AEOI unveils nuclear achievements:

Microwave radiation, advanced gamma systems

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran on Sunday unveiled its two nuclear achievements, including a microwave radiation system and an improved self-shielding gamma radiation system.
The microwave radiation system, with the aim of atomic analysis of elements, along with the improved self-shielding gamma radiation system for the eradication of agricultural pests were unveiled in the presence of the organization’s chief, Mohammad Eslami.
As a sign of advancements in nuclear technology and radiation systems, the microwave radiation system was built for the first time in the world with the most advanced technology for the purpose of atomic analysis of materials by the specialists of an Iranian company.
This system offers simultaneous and rapid analysis of several elements, regardless of their concentration levels, with high accuracy, and has many applications in sectors such as environmental, pharmaceutical, food, chemical and other industries.
Also, with the ability to irradiate bulk agricultural products such as grains and legumes, the unveiled self-protection gamma radiation system causes disinfection, control of germination and reduction of storage pests, and increases the storage time of products by reducing the microbial load and destroying food spoilage microorganisms.
Irradiation method has many advantages compared to other pest control methods, such as the use of poisons, chemical pesticides, etc., including high reliability, permeability, ease and simplicity of use, fast and continuous process, while not having any harmful residue.
