The Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch

of the Russian Academy of Science was founded in 1958.

Academician G.Budker was the founder and first director of the

Institute.

There are around 3000 members of the Institute's staff

including 600 researchers, 400 engineers, 900 technicians and

workers, and 900 machinery shop personnel.

• High Energy Physics at colliders VEPP-4M (5 GeV)

and VEPP-2M/VEPP-2000 (1 GeV).

• Synchrotron Radiation researches (SR utilization,

SRS & ID design and production, FEL).

• Plasma physics.

• Industrial accelerators.

B u d k e r I N P

Budker INP main activities

• High-current electron beam (EB)

accelerators are used in diverse industries

to enhance the physical and chemical

properties of materials and to reduce

undesirable contaminants, such as

pathogens or toxic by-products.

• There are >1400 high-current EB units in

commercial use providing an estimated

added value to numerous products of >$85

billion USD or even more. (date from IAEA report)

Industrial Accelerators

Industry demands three basic requirements from

the suppliers of accelerators:

• High beam-current

• Industrial reliability

• Industrial credibility

BINP accelerators satisfy to all

these requirements

• BINP develops and manufactures ELV

accelerators since 1970.

• These accelerators initially were

developed for application in industries

B u d k e r I N P

ELV accelerators

• By now over 140 ELV accelerators had

been delivered inside Russia and abroad.

They are well known in the world. ELV

accelerators are the most popular

accelerators not only in former USSR but

in China and Korea also.

• Total operation time of these

accelerators is over 900 accelerator-

years.

B u d k e r I N P

ELV accelerators

INP proposes a series of electron

accelerators of the ELV-type covering:

•the energy range 0.4 - 2.5 MeV with a

maximum beam current up to 100 mA

and maximum beam power 100 kW

• the energy range 0.6 -1.0 MeV with a

maximum beam current up to 0.5 A and

maximum beam power 400 kW.

The ELV accelerators

are designed with use of

the unified systems and

units enabling thus to

adapt them to the any

specific requirements of

the customer by the

main parameters such as

the energy range, beam

power, length of

extraction window, etc.

Synchronization of accelerator and

technological equipment

• Accelerator is used only together with technology

equipment. Control systems of accelerator and technologies

are combined.

• As accelerator control code are master code, in spite of

technology control code can be more complicate.

• Parameters of processing are controlled from accelerator

control console.

• Usually one accelerator is used for some pay off and take up

devices simultaneously.

99% of EB processing require the beam

power less than 100 kW and only 1%

need the beam power up to some

Megawatts. And this 1% is very

important due to environment

protection.

First in the world installation for EB treatment

of ground water. During 10 years of operation

the problem of decontamination of under-

ground water in Voronez city was solved.

То compete with other processes in economic

evaluation, the electron beam system

should consider following points:

• Reduce the required doses

• Improve efficiencies

• Reduce the cost for Electron Beam
