Abstract :
The use of the local shielding for electron accelerators considerably extends the capabilities of its application for various purposes, because they can operate in ordinary working rooms. So there is no need to construct special buildings with cumbersome shielding. Since the cost of local shielding depends on its sizes, the compact accelerators have developed in the MRTI. Three accelerating installations are presented in the report: 8 MeV installation for custom inspection of large cargo containers, 5 MeV installation for sterilization of medical instruments, infectious waste, conservation food etc., and 200 keV installation for industrial techniques
