Scientific paper

Radiation hardness assurance for space applications needs to be based on extended radiation experiments. SCK·CEN, the Belgian Nuclear Research Center, is operating different gamma irradiation facilities, with gamma dose rates ranging from 10 rad/h up to 5 Mrad/h and with environmental control and on-line instrumentation capabilities. In addition, we have designed a vacuum-chamber module that can be adapted in our gamma irradiation facilities. The vacuum-system operates in the high-vacuum regime even in the presence of moderate outgassing conditions produced by polymer materials. The minimal design pressure guaranteed is 10-5 mbar but lower pressure can be expected in the case of inert and mineral materials.
