## Description

Cobalt-60 Irradiator The Nuclear Energy and Fuel Cycle Division (NEFCD) is acquiring a new irradiator featuring a larger sample chamber, significantly expanding the types of materials that can be studied. This irradiator uses a shielded cobalt-60 gamma ray source to conduct material irradiation experiments, helping researchers better understand how radiation affects material properties and processes. During operation, samples are placed in the chamber, sealed, and lowered toward the source for a specified exposure period. This well-characterized gamma source provides substantial benefits across various DOE programs.
