The accelerator served mainly for graft-polymerization for new material development, radiation effect study on semiconductors and various experiments of visiting users. The annual operation time of the electron accelerator is 706.3h. The Co-60 -ray irradiation facilities consist of three buildings (8 rooms) and cover a wide dose-rate range from 0.04 Gy/h to 20 kGy/h with eight irradiation cells. The annual operation time for the first, second cobalt irradiation facilities and food irradiation facility is 23,433h, 9,010h and 10,631h.
