Abstract
This paper describes a method of electron beam modification with the use of aluminium modifier plates of different thickness which enables a higher dose uniformity for the objects treated with accelerated electrons with the energy of up 10 MeV. Values obtained during experiments at two types of industrial electron accelerators are included to prove the validity of the proposed method.
