Disclosed is a radiation image capturing system including a portable radiation image capturing apparatus and a portable console. The portable radiation image capturing apparatus can generate image data according to irradiated radiation and transmit the generated image data by wireless communication. The portable console includes a first wireless communication unit which can receive the image data transmitted from the radiation image capturing apparatus and a second wireless communication unit which can communicate with an external apparatus or system by wireless communication. The console gives priority to one wireless communication than the other between the wireless communication through the first wireless communication unit or the wireless communication through the second wireless communication unit.

Radiation image capturing system

A process and an apparatus for carrying out the process which causes acceleration of photodegradation of polymer substances. The process comprises irradiating a polymer substance with a low wavelength light and then a high wavelength light in an atmosphere with a specified humidity. The apparatus contains an irradiation lamp for irradiating a polymer substance, a rotating mounting plate for supporting the polymer substance, and humidifying means for creating a predetermined humidity for the photodegradation of the polymer substance. The photodegradation process and apparatus are used to precisely determine the useful life of polymer substances.
