| Upgrading of radiation facility has been initiated towards higher technical and economical effectiveness, better operational characteristics suitable for radiation processing and research programs in order to promote in Poland the radiation technologies like sterilization medical devices and tissue grafts and other radiation processes where high energy electrons are required. New 10 MeV, 15 kW linear electron accelerator equipped with klystron and standing wave accelerating section was constructed. The following stages of the project have been described: electron gun, microwave system of accelerator including pulse power supply, completion and installation of necessary systems including klystron stand, pulse power supply stand, driving generator stand, waveguide system and control circuit based on industrial microprocessor (Siemens modules S7-300). The klystron modulator was designed based on high power semiconductor HV transistor. Electron beam alignment, beam parameters evaluation and accelerator commissioning is realized in the final stage of the project. The better accelerator availability, more stable beam parameters, better spare parts availability, reduced exploitation costs and higher beam power are expected after successful project implementation. | ||
