Abstract
Provided are methods, systems, and radiating units for radiating mixable material, such as water, blood, sand, or the like, with sterilizing radiation. In one embodiment, the method includes immersing a radiation source in the mixable material, and moving the immersed radiation source inside the mixable material in a non regular fashion. The radiating unit optionally includes a radiation source; a power source for powering the radiation source; and a mobility agent that moves the radiating unit. The system optionally includes at least one radiating unit; and a mobility agent for moving the radiating unit.
