CERD Accelerator
In Operation
CERD has completed the acquisition and installation of a 1.7 MV Pelletron Tandem Accelerator. A nuclear particle accelerator is a device designed to produce a stream of ions that are directed along some path. This is typically achieved by first generating the ions, then causing them to pass througha large electrical potential difference in order to increase their energy even further.
The CERD accelerator is expected to find application in a wide range of sectors, from Health Sciences (where it can be used for Micronutrient research among others) to Agriculture, Solid Minerals, and Petroleum.In addition, with the recent global focus on issues relating to the effect of various industrial processes on the environment, It is important to note

that the accelerator can be used for various research problems in this area.
Installation work on the Pelletron Tandem accelerator was carried out in partnership with experts from South Africa.
