Popis: An ILU-8 single-cavity electron linear accelerator has been designed for use in industrial radiation technology systems for electron irradiation of materials and products. Experimental data of accelerator adjustment and results of measurements of the accelerated beam parameters in modes characteristic of industrial applications are presented. The main parameters of the accelerator are as follows: the electron energies are 0.7–1.0 MeV and the beam power is 20 kW at an average current of up to 25 mA. The accelerator operates in a pulsed mode: the pulse duration is 800 μs, and the pulse repetition frequency is 50 (60) Hz. The cavity is excited by a single-stage self-excited oscillator based on a GI-50A tube with feedback via the cavity at a frequency of 175.6 MHz. The accelerating cavity, together with a system of beam extraction into the atmosphere, can be located inside the biological shielding composed of steel slabs with a total mass of 76 t.
