The National Center for Electron Beam Research (NCEBR) is the leading academic and research organization in the world that is focused on the research, development, and commercialization of Electron Beam (eBeam) technologies. Our goal is to harness this technology for improving the quality of life of peoples and economies around the world.
The National Center for Electron Beam Research is focused on “Harnessing eBeam technology for Cleaning, Healing, Feeding and Shaping this World and Beyond”.
One of our goals of advancing eBeam technology is to reduce the use of radioactive cobalt-60 and cesium-137 from commercial use. Though these technologies have fed and saved millions of lives by their use in medicine and agriculture, today, these radioactive materials pose a serious nuclear security risk. Thanks to the advances in eBeam and X-ray technologies there is no reason why radioactive isotopes should be used commercially. One of our goals is, therefore, to advance alternative technologies such as eBeam and X-ray technologies instead of cobalt-60 and cesium-137.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has designated the NCEBR as the IAEA Collaborating Centre for Electron Beam Technology for Food, Health, and Environmental Applications.
