Iran to build gamma radiation system soon

Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Fereidoun Abbasi, has announced that the country plans to design and build a center equipped with a fixed gamma radiation system in Bonab city, Northwestern Iran, in the near future, Fars news agency reported.

"The building of this center is being constructed and will be ready for inauguration by the end of the first half of this (Iranian) year (end of summer) after the necessary equipments are installed," Abbasi told reporters in Bonab city, East Azarbaijan province on Sunday night.

He said that Iran will be able to mass-produce portable radiation systems after launching the fixed system and can send them all over the country.

Gamma radiation, also known as gamma rays, refer to electromagnetic radiation of high frequency and therefore high energy per photon. They are classically produced by the decay from high energy states of atomic nuclei (gamma decay), but are also created by other processes.
