Gamma Radiation

Home /Gamma Radiation

What is Gamma Radiation?

Gamma radiation is a high-energy electromagnetic wave generated by the decay of the radioisotope Cobalt-60. Known for its exceptional penetration capability, gamma radiation can effectively treat products in dense or bulk packaging, including palletized goods. It ensures complete sterility of both final packaged products and raw materials in a safe, reliable, and proven method.

Steps for Establishing a Radiation Processing Plant:

Product & Market Analysis

Conduct a detailed cluster analysis to determine target products and irradiation volumes.

Site Selection

Choose a location in compliance with AERB guidelines; perform a geotechnical investigation.

Design & Safety Documentation

Develop complete architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical designs with Safety Analysis Report and submit to AERB for necessary approval.

BRIT Collaboration

Sign an MoU with the Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology (BRIT) for cobalt-60 source supply, loading, and commissioning dosimetry.

Plant Manufacturing & Construction

Manufacture equipment, complete civil works, install machinery, and perform cold commissioning.

Safety Clearance

Submit pre-commissioning safety reports and secure AERB clearance for source loading.

Source Procurement & Dosimetry

Procure the cobalt source and manpower, perform source loading and commissioning dosimetry in partnership with BRIT.

Commercial Operations

Submit the Final Safety Analysis Report to AERB and obtain approval to commence commercial irradiation services.
