Abstract
A $1.8 million Army Radiation Laboratory has been built as part of the Army research program on preservation of specific foods by ionizing energy. The six‐year, $5 million program is coordinated with the Atomic Energy Commission's program of low‐dose radiation processing of perishable foods and the Interdepartmental Committee on Radiation Preservation of Food. The new 21 000‐square‐foot Laboratory is located at the headquarters of the Quartermaster Research and Engineering Command in Natick, Mass. The Laboratory is equipped with a cobalt‐60 irradiation cell with a 3‐megacurie capacity, a Varian 24‐MeV, 18‐kW linac, a nuclear radiation‐laboratory complex, a food‐preparation plant, and a taste‐test kitchen.
