A pulsed electron radiography system has been developed, which consisted of an electron linear accelerator, a scintillation screen and a high sensitivity image sensor. The system was capable for high speed strobo-imaging by the use of the pulse feature of the electron beam with the pulse width about a few micro-second. On the other hand, the characteristics of electron images were different from X-ray images and neutron images. Absorption behavior of energetic electrons in materials is Bragg-like rather than exponential. Therefore, a high contrast transparent image was obtained by modulating of energy of the electron beam. By the use of this system and utilizing these features, we observed successfully an ozone explosion phenomenon of liquid nitrogen induced by electron irradiation, which has been considered to be a serious problem in material irradiation experiments.
