Description

The Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology (BRIT), a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy in India, produces and supplies various types of sealed radiation sources in India. The sealed sources include teletherapy sources using 60Co, industrial radiography sources using 60Co and 192Ir, nucleonic gauging sources using 60Co, 137Cs, among others, and 137Cs brachytherapy sources. BRIT has acquired considerable experience in the reuse and recycling of these sealed sources. This has proved to be very useful in continuous control of these sources over the life cycle. (author)
