Department of Agriculture have developed a nuclear device to measure the. strength of eggshells. The gauge shown in use at the USDA’s Engineering Research Division at Beltsville, Md., uses a radioisotope to hurl harmless beta particles at the egg, then measures how many particles bounce back. The thicker the shell, the more beta “‘backscatter’’: is recorded. Commercial processors lose about $25 million a year through egg breakage. Researchers are using the device to measure the effects of egg temperature, hen house, humidity, and the hen’s diet, age and rate of production on shell strength. The tests, demonstrated above by Agriculture Engineer Paul James and his assistant Della Harden, will be used to determine egg packaging requirements and the design of egg handling equipment.
