Abstract

A gamma radiation cell for sterilizing industrial products, of the type constituted by a shielded enclosure provided with at least one tight access door, comprising an overhead conveyor for displacing transports supporting the products to be treated. The floor of the enclosure comprises a central well allowing storage of a source of irradiation which may be moved vertically. Pipes connect this well to an oxygen reserve and to a reservoir for storing the ozone produced by radiolysis, this ozone being able to be admitted into the vessel of the transports.
