Abstract: In the early 1960s, work on developing industrial high-power electron accelerators was initiated by Academician G I Budker, the founder and director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics (currently, Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, BINP). This review describes the arrangements and principles of operation of high-power electron accelerators of the ELV and ILU series designed and constructed at the BINP. Since 1972, 170 ELV and more than 50 ILU machines have been shipped to many countries around the world, most of them still operational. International Atomic Energy Agency surveys rate the BINP as one of the few well-trusted global suppliers of reliable industrial accelerators.

Keywords: high-power industrial electron accelerators, direct-action accelerator (DC machine), linear radio frequency accelerator (linac), accelerating tube, radiofrequency cavity, beam extraction device, electron beam treatment, bremsstrahlung, X-ray converter.
