Radiation sources have been applied in more diverse fields than those people know generally.

For example, the sterilization of medical devices or the manufacture of heat-resisting coating materials for electric wires and bottles by inducing cross-linking reactions in high molecular compounds like polyethylene are executed by irradiation.

Furthermore, the sources are indispensable for the quality control such as the thickness measurement of steel plates or papers, the investigation of cracks and damage, or faulty part welded.

They are also applied in various fields including the cancer therapy, environmental measurement; etc. Hence, what is most important now is that the sources are stably supplied for avoiding troubles in the application fields.

Chiyoda Technol has achieved the stable supply of sources on the basis of our expertise and know-how over long years.


Ir-192 sources to be used in the RALS for medical purposes are different in size and shape from those designed for non-destructive inspection. In medical use especially, strict regulations under the Medical Law are applied.

It is therefore necessary to manufacture sources according to customers' usage in observing relating laws and regulations.

Chiyoda Technol is in a position to produce sources tailored to customers' usage by means of the “manufacturing cell for industrial sources” and the “manufacturing cell for medical sources” and to provide them with the sources safely and punctually.


Furthermore, we may conduct consultation for the safe usage of sources to customers who intend to use them in novel fields.

We will also support the new application of sources by conducting the manufacture and distribution of sources in response to diverse applications.
