چکیده
I am happy to announce today that the Department’s proposal to set up a Dr Homi Bhabha National Institute has been approved. This will bring together ten premier institutions all over the country under a single research-driven framework. This will help ensure that our scientists and our scientific establishments remain at the forefront of the pursuit of excellence, comparable with the best global standards.

Nuclear Track Measurements Methods: a Review
A review is accomplished on the Softcomputing approaches in the field of nuclear track measurements for polymer solid state nuclear track detectors which have been commonly used for passive dosimetry applications. Several works presented in the last two decades were addressed. A general scheme of a Softcomputing method for nuclear track measurement is expressed from a global viewpoint.
متن کاملMeasurement of Contemporary and Retrospective Radon Concentration in Ramsar Dwellings Using Polycarbonate Detector
The origins of radon gas are the amount of uranium decay in the soil that is released into space and through the interior gaps of buildings. Radon can enter the respiratory system and cause radiation hazards. Recently research has identified Radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking. The indoor concentration of Radon progeny is mentioned as an important issue reg...
متن کاملNuclear Track Detectors for Charged Particles and Neutrons
It was with great emotion that I accepted to be a guest speaker to this memorial section dedicated to my old-time friend, Prof. Radomir Ilić. In addition to being one of the most outstanding scientists in the field of nuclear tracks, Prof. Radomir Ilić has been always highly acclaimed by the scientific community for his enthusiasm, his warm friendship, and his great vitality. Through his succes...
متن کاملApplications of Nuclear Track Detectors in Radiation-Protection Monitoring
The present paper deals with the solid state etch-track detectors and their applications to the detection/dosimetry of neutrons, radon, and radon-decay products. Most of the scientists, actively engaged in the late 60’s and in the 70’s for monitoring the occupational neutron-exposure by etch-track detectors, became also involved in the development of personal monitors for the exposure to radon-...
متن کاملDigital System to Characterize Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors
A digital system to characterize solid state nuclear track detectors(SSNTD) has been developed. It was used in the study of two detectors and its performance evaluated by comparing the obtained results with those determined by using an analog system, already in use for such purpose. The comparison of the results together with the feasibility and rapidness in data acquisition have demonstrated t...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of radon, thoron and their progeny levels in dwellings of Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh
Background: Radon and thoron are invisible, odorless, heavy and radioactive gases which are ubiquitously present in dwellings and in the environment. In the present work, seasonal variation of indoor radon, thoron and their progeny concentrations has been studied in the dwellings of industrially polluted cities in District Faridabad, Haryana and District Mathura in Uttar Pradesh. Materials and ...
