| Abstract: | The irradiation of hospital linen contaminated with radioresistant microorganisms or hospital microflora with gamma radiation in a dose of 10 kGy ensures the reliable microbial decontamination of such linen. Cotton linen has been found capable of withstanding 15 irradiation cycles in a dose of 10 kGy. |
