ATOMIC IRRADIATOR HAVING MEANS FOR ROTATING SAMPLES FOR UNIFORM EXPOSURE

摘要

A thick-walled housing of radioactive absorbing material has an enlarged cavity which contains a solid movable block. A radiation source compartment is centrally disposed within said housing and immediately adjacent said block. A radiation compartment is disposed within said block and can be moved into and out of alignment with the radioactive source. This compartment can also be moved into and out of alignment with an exterior access opening through the housing so that articles can be placed within the radiation compartment and subsequently moved to the interior of the housing and into alignment with the radiation source. The compartment has a movable turntable therein which permits the article to be uniformly exposed on all sides to the radiation source.
