Abstract
At present, radiation technologies are most commonly applied for sterilization of medical supplies and irradiation of food products. The results of radiation treatment cannot be fully verified by subsequent non-destructive testing. Therefore, irradiation processes and equipment used for radiation treatment should be subject to mandatory validation and certification. In this paper, we present the results obtained during process validation of radiation-technological installations based on electron accelerators by investigating absorbed dose in irradiated products.
