Dispersion modeling and impact assessment of radioactivity releases
Decision support systems for nuclear emergency management
Training for the first responders on response to radiological emergencies
Study on the impact of nuclear and radiological emergencies
To identify and focus on Radiological issues of concern in the public domain by:
1) Carrying out R&D to develop Radiation Detection Systems and Dosimetry.
2) Carrying out Impact Assessment of Radioactivity Releases (integrated with GIS support) for normal and accident conditions.
3) Setting up Laboratories to map radioactivity and radiation levels across the country.
4) Reviewing and updating Radiation Risk Perception, Intervention Levels, Dose Limits.
5) Ensuring Security and Safety of Radioactive / Special Nuclear Material (SNM).
6) Emergency Preparedness, Response and Post-Event Management.
7) Medical Management of Radiation Emergencies.
8) Training programmes on Radiological Safety for Emergency Response Teams / First Responders / Quick Response Teams, National Level stockholders and Public Awareness programmes.
