Induced Radioactivity The energy levels permitted for use in foodirradiation are specifically selected to avoid anyconditions which could induce significant leversof radioactivity in the treated commodities
The permitted energy levels are:X-rays (or "I -rays) ~ 5 MeVElectrons ~ 10 MeV For radiation processing of items other than food,electrons or X-rays up to 10 MeV can be used asneeded, without concerns about inducedradioactivity

ISpurs 5000 eVThe quantity of energy deposited determines whether an individualevent will give rise to a spur or a larger group of ions and excited
molecules Blobs (100-500 eV) and short tracks 5000 eV) can be considered asgroups of overlapping spurs Delta rays are secondary electrons of energy less than 10,000 eVFor 10 MeV e-: 75% spurs, 17% short and branched tracks, 8% blobs(Spinks and Woods, 1990)

Concluding Remarks Physicists, chemists and biologists havecontributed to the high level of understandin9of the basic aspects of radiation science, whichforms the foundation of radiation processing One of the biggest industrial applications ofradiation processing, crosslinking ofpolyethylene and the heat-shrink phenomenon,were discovered by Prof. Arthur Charlesby in1957 when he was investigating the effects ofhigh energy radiation on polymers
