The IAEA’s new Transportable Electron Beam (e-beam) Accelerator System?is a versatile facility that allows the treatment of liquids, solids and gases. It will be a cornerstone of the Agency’s assistance to Member States in building capacity and in bridging gaps to address the need for cost-effective and accessible e-beam technology (“ebeams4Development”). The system will enable experts to conduct activities that support NUTECPlastics (polymer modification), Atoms4Food (phyto- and sanitary application), ZODIAC (inactivating microorganisms for vaccine production), Atoms4Climate (environmental applications such as wastewater, sludge, odour and greenhouse gases treatments), Atoms4Heritage (preserving heritage artefacts) and more.

The 40-feet ISO container in Agency blue, housing the main element of the system, will be on display at A-3 level. Experts will brief delegates about its capabilities, operation, safety aspects and the possibilities for loaning the system to Member States for dedicated experiments and demonstration. The system will not be operational while on display at the VIC (i.e. no radiation protection measures are needed).

Daily, between 08:00-09:00 and 13:00-15:00, no registration required.
