  The report describes the results of the development and testing of the Electron-23high-voltage high-power electron accelerator rated for an accelerating voltage of 1 MV and beam power up to 500 kW at the "NIIEFA" testing facilities. The accelerator is intended for industrial processing of flue gases from coal burning thermal power stations with the aim to reduce concentrations of nitrogen and sulfur oxides. The accelerator may also be used for other energy-consuming processes, such as radiation treatment of wastewater for the purpose of their decontamination or processing of natural gases for their conversion into engine fuel. The report describes the main components and systems of the accelerator, such as the high-voltage generator, the accelerating voltage regulation device, the electron-optical system, the electron source and the accelerating tube, the irradiation field forming system, the beam output device and vacuum system.
