Description
The R2M coordinates irradiations of non-metallic materials at CERN. Samples of equipment designed for applications in high radiation areas are sent to external facilities for gamma irradiation with 60Co sources. Test results inform design choices and reduce failure risks in operation. In the last year 15 irradiation campaigns have been launched in collaboration with the radiation testing company Radtest Ltd.
