This hands-on workshop is hosted under the partnership project between the RCA Regional Office and the Office of Radiological Security (ORS) of the United States Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) titled “Supporting the Adoption of Electron Beam Technology and its Applications in Areas of Food and Agriculture, Industry, Human Health, and Environment Treatment (2024-2028).” This event is co-hosted with Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute (VINATOM).
In line with the overarching goal of the project to improve the quality of the environment and living conditions of the Asia-Pacific region through supporting the Electron Beam (eBeam) infrastructure building and facilitation of its applications, this workshop will provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of eBeam and X-ray technologies to those countries who are planning to adopt the technology. This workshop spans 5 days, with 3 days focused on the seminar for eBeam and X-ray, a half-day focused on technical tours to private companies, and 2 days focused on hands-on training including PUFFIn* simulation. During the workshop, participants will have a chance to participate in hands-on sessions where they can learn dose mapping and get preliminary data on the products they bring from their home countries.
