irradiation
irradiation Exposure to nuclear or
electromagnetic radiation. Materials are often irradiated with high-energy
neutrons in
nuclear reactors, to make them temporarily radioactive. More portable sources of such radiation are radioisotopes such as cobalt-60 and caesium-137, which are used in the irradiation treatment for cancer. Treatment also involves the use of particle
accelerator, including
proton and neutron beam machines.
Ionizing radiation is used in
food preservation to destroy bacteria and microorganisms in some foodstuffs, while in other foods, such as soft fruits, it increases shelf-life. The process of irradiation in
food technology is still being closely monitored.
