Notes
J.
Purpose and Uses
Accelerators were originally designed to study (research) the structure
EO-01 IDENTIFY
of matter. Accelerators today are used not only for basic research
uses for
purposes, but for many other applications such as:
accelerators.
Production of radioisotopes, such as tritium.
N
Generation of bremsstrahlung for radiography and radiation therapy.
N
Induction of fusion.
N
Pumping for lasers.
N
Define the terms,
such as
Detoxification of hazardous waste.
bremsstrahlung and
N
actinide
transmutation as
Actinide transmutation.
N
necessary.
Production of synchrotron radiation.
N
Sterilization of food and surgical equipment.
N
Medical radiation therapy.
