To test the performance of the future pixel readout chip in the harsh High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) environment, an irradiation experiment has been setup with gaseous Kr-85 beta source with dose rate of about 7 rad/s. This setup was designed to emulate as closely as possible operation in the HL-LHC conditions of the ATLAS detector inner layer, including temperature, radiation, and continuous electrical operation. The low dose rate irradiation setup has been running since September 5th 2018 at a temperature of -15 degrees Celsius. The first results will be presented with a 500 Mrad total dose received..
