Abstract :
Repetitive POS technology recently developed in the Kurchatov Institute may be applicable for various technology uses. Together with existing 2-3 MV 10-50 kW X-ray systems, a new facility operating in electron beam mode was recently developed for radiation sterilization applications. This compact system possesses 0.5-1 kJ/shot in electron beam of 0.5-0.8 MeV depending on the initial Marx charging voltage and may repetitively perform at 1 Hz frequency. Electron beam creates 1-10 kGy/shot in a surface layers of irradiated substances with dose rate at 5 GGy/s
