The first part summarizes the general characteristics of ionizing radiations and their activity on microorganisms: lethal and mutagenic effects, sensitivity conditions. Different microbial species have different sensitivities: gram negative bacteria are more sensitive (D10 approximately 5-10 Krads), bacterial spores and viruses are more resistant (D10 approximately 1 Megarads). The second part considers the main applications of radiosterilization: some are at present in full development (medical and surgical disposable equipment); others are still at the experimental stage. Practical aspects, determination of sterilizing doses and control of radiosterilization are also described.
致死和诱变效应、敏感条件。不同的微生物种类具有不同的敏感性：革兰氏阴性菌更敏感（D10约为5 - 10千拉德），细菌芽孢和病毒更具抗性（D10约为1兆拉德）。第二部分探讨了辐射灭菌的主要应用：有些目前正在全面发展（医疗和外科一次性设备）；其他的仍处于实验阶段。还描述了实际方面、灭菌剂量的确定以及辐射灭菌的控制。
