For the investigation of chemical reactions initiated by ionizing radiation, a gamma source has been constructed employing Cobalt‐60 as the emitter. This source is used in a radiation laboratory equipped with manipulators and therefore, has a wide range of applicability. Dose rate, total dosage, and radiation environment can be varied for either batch or flow type experiments. The design and flux characteristics of this source are described.
