The iia Information Hub aims to provide material which will be of value to iia members. Information sources will be categorised so as to collate data into recognisable and useful areas of interest. We aim to ensure that listed categories are dynamic so that they can be updated to reflect changing areas of interest and concern.
The encyclopedia is an international work, with contributors originating from many different countries. There are 276 chapters, written by 383 contributors in total. The work features a total of 560 images. It is now available from ScienceDirect and in print in the UK and Europe. First published by iia January 2014 ...
The Joint FAO-IAEA Division of the IAEA has just made an E-learning course on Food Irradiation available on-line. This course is designed for different types of audiences, ranging from members of the general public interested in scientific and technical information about the basics of the food...
As part of the domestic Protect and Reduce mission, the Office of Radiological Security of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), requested the Illinois Accelerator Research Center (IARC) of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to prepare a a report on the opportunities and challenges to replace...
A new version of EN ISO 11737-2 on tests of sterility was published as BS EN ISO 11737-2:2020 in May. Some changes parallel those incorporated in EN ISO 11737-1. Others include adding requirements that: the interval between manufacturing the device and sterilizing it reflects routine...
The attached presentation was given at IMRP19 by Roger Bryant of Huber Suhner AG. Irradiation of Cables, Wires and Heat Shrinkables.IMRP19...
This practical book addresses industrial radiation technologies. The new edition explores updates to emerging applications of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) radiation to polymer processing. Table of Contents: Review of Elements of Radiation Science and Technology. Ultraviolet Electron Curing Equipment. Electron Beam Curing Equipment. UV...
The processing of polymers in order to improve material characteristics is the largest application of irradiation. Polymer materials are widely used in the healthcare and medical technology sector. MediScan and the University of Applied Sciences in Wels have collaborated to evaluate the effects of different types...
MIT undergraduate students have found that, by exposing plastic flakes to small, harmless doses of gamma radiation, then pulverizing the flakes into a fine powder, they can mix the irradiated plastic with cement paste and fly ash to produce concrete that is up to 15...
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are caused by a mass proliferation of phytoplankton (cyanobacteria, diatoms, dinoflagellates) in waterbodies. These blooms affect environment, human health and aquatic life as a result of the production of toxins and the oxygen depletion due to the accumulation of biomass. They...
The Institute of the Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (IAEA Collaborating Centre) organised a workshop to discuss the emerging trends in the eb sludge treatment. The workshop was supported by EU project H2020 “Accelerator Research and Innovation for European Science and Society”, task WP3 and Erasmus+ project...
Joachim Gehring of BGS Beta-Gamma-Service, Germany presented this paper at IMRP 2006 in Kuala Lumpur. Irradiation of crosslinked components for industrial mass-production vehicles has been widely accepted for a long time because of the excellent cost to performance ratio. For example, in 1975 the Volkswagen Golf...
St. Martin’s Chapel in Stari Brod, near Sisak in Croatia is a rare example of traditional folk baroque wooden architecture with a completely painted interior. This chapel was recently re-consecrated and returned to liturgical function after restoration and renovation. Our member the Ruđer Bošković Institute...
