A system for irradiating liquids with radioactive beams in which a tube (1) with an inlet and outlet connection (4, 5) is surrounded by a jacket (2) composed of radiation-screening material. In the tube (1) is located a radioactive source (6) for producing the radiation. The tube (1) is designed to be essentially rectilinear. In the tube (1) are located, starting from the radiation source (6) in the direction towards the connections (4, 5), shaped elements (10, 12, 14, 15) made of radiation-screening material which prevent escape of radiation via the connections (4, 5). The shaped elements (10, 12, 14, 15) leave a labyrinth-like free passage for the liquid. |
