Abstract :
The authors describe how Titan Beta has designed and manufactured a 12 MW, 100 kW modulator as part of Titan´s 10 MeV, 15 kW linear accelerator (Linac) electron beam industrial processing system. These systems are designed to operate at a duty of 7000 hours or greater per year. Two of the three Linac systems produced by Titan Beta are operated by the Titan Corporation. Titan integrates the Linac systems into their turn key medical product sterilization facilities and provides the material handling, shielding and all necessary controls and documentation required to conform to FDA requirements for the sterilization of medical products
