Research abstract
Blood irradiators are commonly used around the world to treat blood to prevent Transfusion-associated Graft-Versus-Host-Disease, a possible side effect to transfusions. Most blood irradiators currently use Cs-137, which is a highly dangerous radioactive substance. The National Research Council has identified as a priority the replacement of such high-activity sources with alternative technologies, in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of terrorists for use in a Radiological Dispersal Device (
