Re: Information on Irradiation of Wastewater

["Mark A. Smith" <web25@charweb.org>]

It's been done on a trial basis in several locations.  There were a few 
papers presented at the 10th International Meeting on Radiation 
Processing last year.  Proceedings are available in Radiation Physics and 
Chemistry (Pergamon Press), vol. 52, nos. 1-6.  Might try starting at the 
Pergamon web site?

Also, the IAEA has been involved with these projects in many countries.  
Check their publications list for reports.

One method would also be to talk to the irradiator and irradiator source 
suppliers - if there's a potential market, they probably have several 
details on viability.  The two companies to check with are MDS Nordion in 
Canada and Puridec in the UK.
