This application requests funds to purchase a new J.L. Shepherd Mark I, Model 30, 137Cs-irradiator for Georgetown University Medical Center. The Medical Center already has a 137Cs-irradiator that is heavily used. Many faculty members have NIH funded research that is dependent upon this irradiator, and it is the only radiation source available for experimental irradiations. The irradiator, however, was custom made for a single user by Best Industries over 15 years ago, and was never designed to withstand the constant use that it now sees. As a result, the instrument breaks down frequently and repair costs have reached >$10,000 per year. The manufacturer cannot guarantee its safety, and they recommend that it be replaced with a new instrument as soon as possible. We would like to replace the instrument with a J.L. Shepherd Mark I, Model 30, 137Cs-irradiator, which has equivalent functional capabilities to the irradiator we have now. J.L. Shepherd provided us with a price quote of $141,166. This price includes all cost associated with replacement of the current instrument, including shipping, installation, and removal of the old irradiation source. The requested instrument will be utilized in 17 funded grant projects. The Principal Investigators of those grants constitute the Major User Group of this proposal.

此申请要求资金购买一个新的J. L.牧羊人马克一世 乔治敦大学医学中心的30型137 Cs辐照器。 医疗中心已经有一个大量使用的137 Cs辐照器。 许多教职员工都有NIH资助的研究，这取决于此 辐射器，它是唯一的辐射源， 实验辐射然而，辐照器是为 15年前，Best Industries的一个用户， 设计成能承受现在的持续使用。结果导致 仪器故障频繁，维修费用已达10，000美元以上 每一年。制造商无法保证其安全性， 建议尽快用新仪器更换。 我们想用J. L.牧羊人马克一世， 30型，137 Cs辐照器，具有等同功能 我们现在的辐射器。J.L.谢培德给我们开了个价 报价141166美元。此价格包括与以下各项相关的所有费用 更换现有仪器，包括运输、安装 以及移除旧的辐射源。 所要求的工具将用于17个资助的赠款项目。 这些赠款的主要研究者构成主要用户 本提案的小组。
