	A linear electron accelerator IDK-6/9МeV has been designed for operation as a source of ionizing radiation in a customs inspection system intended for inspection of large-scale cargos. The main operating mode of the accelerator is the X-ray mode with an energy of 6 MeV, which ensures the penetrability (for steel) more than 300 mm. The operating mode of the accelerator can be quickly changed for 9 Mev, which allows the objects under study to be discriminated based on the organics/non-organics criterion using the "two energies" method. A triode electron source with cathode and grid modulators is applied in the accelerator. A system of collimators located at the output of the accelerating device ensures shaping of an X-ray beam fan-shaped in the vertical plane with an opening angle of 460 directed towards the detector line. The accelerator is equipped with a computerized system of protective interlocks and control, which makes possible its operation both in the setting mode and as a component of the whole customs inspection system.

A linear electron accelerator IDK-6/9МeV has been designed for operation as a source of ionizing radiation in a customs inspection system intended for inspection of large-scale cargos. The main operating mode of the accelerator is the X-ray mode with an energy of 6 MeV, which ensures the penetrability (for steel) more than 300 mm. The operating mode of the accelerator can be quickly changed for 9 Mev, which allows the objects under study to be discriminated based on the organics/non-organics criterion using the "two energies" method. A triode electron source with cathode and grid modulators is applied in the accelerator. A system of collimators located at the output of the accelerating device ensures shaping of an X-ray beam fan-shaped in the vertical plane with an opening angle of 460 directed towards the detector line. The accelerator is equipped with a computerized system of protective interlocks and control, which makes possible its operation both in the setting mode and as a component of the whole customs inspection system.
