The accelerator served mainly for graft-polymerization for new material development, radiation effect study on semiconductors, and various experiments of outside users. The annual operation time for the electron accelerator is 597.4h(517h for vertical beams, 80.4h for horizontal beams) The Co-60 -ray irradiation facilities consist of three buildings (8 rooms) and cover a wide dose-rate range from 0.04Gy/h to 20kGy/h with eight irradiation cells. The annual operation time for the cobalt first, second irradiation facilities and food irradiation facility is 20,844 h, 6,335 h and 3,150 h.
