Abstract
Nowadays, radiation processing with gamma rays is a well established technology, reaching a commercial use since the 1960s . It is widely used in almost every domain, mainly for sterilization in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, preservation and decontamination of food, treatment of plastic materials and even in cultural heritage preservation. This paper analyses the new features and improvements made for safety operations and assesses the results from its operation. The analysis consists in evaluating the new technical components, the PLC software including reports, errors, alarms, data storage etc. and control access to the operation processes.
