Abstract
The article describes a universal apparatus for radiation-chemical investigations with a Co60 γ-ray source possessing an activity of about 60,000 g-eq of Ra. The design of the apparatus makes it possible to simulate radiation-chemical apparatus with powerful isotopic γ-ray sources of various configurations and dimensions: a cylindrical radiating element, a radiating element in the form of two plates, a radiating element in the form of a “heat exchanger,” and a radiating element in the form of one or more rods. The dosage rate (without taking into account the attenuation in the protective vessels) varies from∼250 r/sec in a volume of 36 liters to∼ 3000 r/sec in a volume of 0.1 liter. The apparatus is designed for carrying out radiation-chemical investigations under practically any physicochemical parameters; it ensures the possibility of remote control and observations both of the experimental conditions and the processes taking place in the investigated systems during irradiation.
