A sterilizing device evenly irradiating an entire surface of a food with electron beam to provide a sterilizing effect based on the electron beam to the entire surface is provided. The sterilizing device includes: an electron-beam irradiator unit 10 configured to irradiate a process-target object (such as a raw egg) 40 with electron beam EB; a placement stage 22 for the process-target object 40; and a slit SL arranged between the process-target object 40 and the electron-beam irradiator unit 10, the slit unit SL includes a plurality of openings, and is arranged to be upper than a high portion of the process-target object 40. In this manner, since the process-target object 40 is irradiated with the electron beam EB through the slit SL, its entire surface can be more evenly irradiated with the electron beam, and a sterilizing effect based on the electron beam can be provided to the entire surface. The influence of the bremsstrahlung X ray caused by the irradiation with the electron beam on the inside contents of the process-target object 40 can be made small, and a dose of the X ray with which the inside contents (that is the portion to be the eatable part) of the process-target object 40 is irradiated can be made small so as to meet a criterion value regulated in a law or others.

A method and a system for producing a change in a medium disposed in an artificial container. The method places in a vicinity of the medium at least one of a plasmonics agent and an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy through the artificial container to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent.

The system for storage includes spent nuclear fuel arranged in a drift and at least one first mechanical structure configured to cause a target material to move in the drift. The at least one first mechanical structure is configured to at least assist in actively controlling an exposure rate of the target material to the spent nuclear fuel while the target material is being exposed to the spent nuclear fuel. The system includes at least one second mechanical structure configured to remove the target material from the drift after the target material is exposed to the spent nuclear fuel.

A method and a system for producing a change in a medium. The method places in a vicinity of the medium an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The energy modulation agent has a normal predominant emission of radiation in a first wavelength range outside of a second wavelength range (WR2) known to produce the change, but under exposure to the applied initiation energy produces the change. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the energy modulation agent.

A system and a method for irradiating an object and potentially for controlling the irradiation or other conditions relating to an effect of the irradiation. A sensor is translated along a longitudinal direction of the radiation emitter and in a space between the radiation emitter and the objects irradiated to arrive at information relating to a parameter relating to the effect of the irradiation, such as the radiation, and derived in the space between the radiation emitter and the objects irradiated. Calibrating the sensor readings and adjusting the radiating emitter output, thereby controlling the irradiation.
