ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus for irradiating a continuously flowing stream of fluid is disclosed. The apparatus consists of a housing having a spherical cavity and a spherical modera- tor containing a radiation source positioned within the spherical cavity. The spherical moderator is of lesser diameter than the spherical cavity so as to define a spherical annular volume around the moderator. The hous- ing includes fluid intake and output conduits which open onto the spherical cavity at diametrically opposite posi- tions, Fluid flows through the cavity around the spheri- cal moderator and is uniformly irradiated due to the 4n radiation geometry. The irradiation source, for example a 252Cf neutron source, is removable from the spherical moderator through a radial bore which extents outwardly to an opening on the outside of the housing. The radiation source may be routinely removed without interrupting the flow of fluid or breaching the containment of the fluid.
