Dynamitron

The Dynamitron is an electrostatic particle accelerator invented by Marshal Cleland in 1956 at Washington University in St. Louis and manufactured by Electron Equipment Experts LLC. {{cite conference

The Dynamitron is made in several models with output energies from 0.5 to 5 MeV and beam power from 50 to 200 kW. Its main use is in industrial irradiation applications; the most common are polymer crosslinking for production of heat shrink tubing, and shrink wrap plastic film for food packaging, sterilization, and curing of plastic foam and tire components. Around 200 units are in operation, primarily in the US.{{cite web
