Abstract
By means of a bacterial monitor, it was found that a 2 megarad dose of high velocity electrons will sterilize 0.353 inch of polyethylene. A new bacterial monitor was devised which serves as a direct measure of the sterilizing effect of irradiation on microorganisms. The bacterial monitor is a sealed polyethylene envelope containing polyethylene strips infected with spores of Bacillus thermoalimentophilus . The bacterial monitor may be used to establish the sterilizing capabilities of electron accelerators and may be used as a routine control check on sterilization by irradiation.
