Using the concepe of life cycle of technology and cost of life cycle to analyse the state of radiation processing at home and abroad, the radiation processing technology abroad is in the stage of growth, while in our country it is just entering the stage of growth.,In the mid-80's, we should grasp some items which have ripe technology and high economic effectiveness to put into production and it is vital to engage in basic research of techno-economics, market demand and form a complete set to lay a foundation for more fast development of radiation processing in the end-80's.,In the near future, The suitable expanding form is to install some regional radiation processing service center and some multiple center of research and production for radiation processing. The items for expansion and transfer should be strictly selected according to the model.
