X-ray irradiation

[Ned Naylor <huge23ned@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi all,



 



I’m trying to find information regarding X-ray irradiators and their relative advantages and shortcomings to gamma-source irradiators.  Is current X-ray irradiation technology capable of satisfying the irradiation needs of large-scale blood banks and other medical facilities?   Or, are traditional cesium-137 and cobalt-60 irradiators at their maximum curie levels capable of irradiating, for instance, more blood bags per minute than X-ray alternatives?  Also, what does the X-ray irradiation market look like?  Do these devices present better economic alternatives to gamma-source irradiators, as far as maintanence and disposal costs, prices, and energy consumption are concerned?



 



Thank you very much.



 



Sincerely,



 



Ned Naylor
