Develop radiation application into high-tech industry

The Prime Minister approved the detailed plan for developing radiation application in industry and other economic and technical sectors until 2020. Accordingly, the goal of developing radiation application into one technology industry High with 4 major application areas: Non-destructive testing; nuclear control system; industrial irradiation; marking techniques.

Promoting the development of existing irradiation fields in Vietnam which has advantages, including elimination

According to the Plan, the development of existing irradiation fields in Vietnam will be strengthened, including: disinfection of medical products, food disinfection (seafood, meat, fruits, vegetables and spices). ), eliminating termites and other harmful agents in food and other long-term preservation products.

In addition, development of new application areas including: radiation control of diseases in hospitals, rubber vulcanizing irradiation and fabrication of composite materials and irradiation of semiconductor materials.

Some investment projects in this area are prioritized such as building irradiation centers in Hau Giang port, expanding and developing the Center for research and development of radiation technology (Ho Chi Minh City) into Trung. National key center of irradiation .

Objectives in the period of 2016-2020, our country has 30 industrial irradiation facilities.

Non-destructive testing: Using radiographic techniques to detect defects, defects of the object to be examined.

Nuclear control system: Used as a stand-alone measurement system or integrated in a control system to control production lines, such as thickness, density, humidity, filling levels and other characteristics.

Industrial irradiation: Using radiation rays emitted from radiation equipment or particles accelerated from accelerators to disinfect, denatured materials, or serve other purposes in production and service activities.

Marking technique: Track the flow mark in the flow, in the process of technology, or in the environment to help detect the
