In the early 1960s, work on developing industrial high power electron accelerators was initiated by Academician G.I. Budker, BINP's founder and director. This review describes the arrangements and principles of operation of BINP-developed and produced high-power electron accelerators of ELV and ILU series. 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.
