These columns varied in diameter from 2.5m to 11m and in height from 25m to 45m. Use of neutron backscatter gauge for interface detection in columns has been established. Radiotracer experiments for RTD studies on trickle bed reactors have been successfully carried out for a Public Sector Undertaking user, Engineers India Limited. NDT manpower development programme on radiography testing as per ISO 9712 and IAEA TECDOC628 are being regularly conducted 3 to 4 times per year. Shielding integrity testing of thick composite blocks consisting of concrete, lead and steel using isotope techniques has been established. Radiation preservation of commercially important varieties of fish was standardized. An automated NDT method for identification and sorting of mangoes infested with stone weevil and spongy tissue defect has been developed. The research efforts in nuclear agriculture have resulted in the development of two crop varieties. A blackgram variety Tu-94-2 with 35% more yield and resistance to yellow mosaic virus was released for cultivation in several states in 1999. A high yielding soyabeen variety TAMS-38 has been released for cultivation. MoUs have been signed with Agricultural Universities and other Research Institutes to carry out collaborative research in agriculture. The uniform delivery of desired radiation doses to the products is generally the only critical parameter to be controlled in radiation processing. In order to uniformly irradiate long lengths of wire and cables by EB accelerator, a two-side irradiation conveyor system has been commissioned. With this facility, it is now possible to irradiate wire and cables in a continuous manner. At the request of M/s Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd., Mumbai, the isotope tagged PIG Tracking of the underground pipeline of 10Ф diameter which supplies Aviation Turbo Fuel (ATF) from Mahul refinery to Santacruz Airport (16 km) was successfully done for the sediment level in the pipeline. The 12 mCi radioisotope source of Co-60 was used in the operation. The increasing use of non-biodegradable films such as polyethylene and polypropylene for various applications is placing increasing demands on the environment. Similarly, the generation of large quantities of agro waste such as bagasse, saw dust and rice husk results in pollution of the environment as most of this waste is used as a low quality fuel for burning. Polyethylene Ц agro waste composite films have been produced, which upon exposure to electron beam irradiation, have been found to be degrading much faster when buried under soil as compared to the normal polyethylene films. Arsenic levels greater than the permissible levels were found in groundwaters in 8 districts of West Bengal located in the Indo-Gangetic plain. Isotope studies were carried out in Murshidabad and South 24 Parganas districts, to understand the mechanism of release of Arsenic from the sediment to the groundwater. Results obtained so far show that a) shallow groundwaters upto ~100m depth contain high arsenic and receive modern recharge b) Deep groundwaters are old and Arsenic free, c) Interconnection between the shallow and deep aquifer possible in Mushidabad showing that deep aquifer is vulnerable to As contamination, but in South 24 Parganas interconnection is remote. Identification of key processes leading to the release of As to the groundwater would help in evolving suitable remediation procedures. Municipal Corporation of Mumbai collects sewage generated from various parts of the city and after treatment discharges into the sea at various locations. At Worli treated sewage at a rate of 10,800 m3/hr is discharged at a distance of 3.4 km from shore through a newly constructed submarine outfall with diffuser manifold( World bank aided project). A radiotracer study using 82Br was carried out to understand the near field dispersion pattern of the sewage during ebb tide disposal. It was observed that the near field plume was non-merging and surfacing one.

During the year 2000, eight events were hosted including the 22nd RCA National RepresentativesТ Meetings in Mumbai and UNDP/IAEA/RCA Terminal Tripartite meeting in New Delhi. Twenty IAEA fellows were trained in which fourteen were from the RCA countries. Seventeen expertsТ assignments were carried out under the RCA programme. RCA events hosted in India 1. 28 Feb Ц 3 Mar 22nd RCA National RepresentativesТ Meeting 2. 24-29 APR Regional WS on Advanced Application of Radiotracers to Study Effective Dispersion into Sea. 3. 23-27 Oct Regional WS on EB Treatment of Paper Pulp for Viscose Rayon Process 4. 20-24 Nov WS for Environmental Radiation Monitoring and Regional Database 5. 4-6 Dec Regional Seminar on Ageing Management for Research Reactors 6. 7-8 Dec Project Review Meeting Ц RAS/4/019 7. 11-13 Dec UNDP Terminal Tripartite Review Meeting for RAS/8/080 8. 18-22 Dec RTC on Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy for Nuclear Medicine Pohysicians using SPECT Some of the successful stories of RCA related activities are as follows: A demonstration plant for radiation processing of spices has been commissioned in BRIT, BARC Complex, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, India. The plant has been in operation for over one year now and has processed nearly 450 tonnes of various spices. The medical products sterilisation plant ISOMED of BRIT at Trombay, Mumbai 400 085 has been awarded the ISO 9002 Certification for Quality Management System for УRadiation sterilization services for healthcare productsФ. The certificate was awarded in July 2000. Radiation processed hydro-gel for treating burns has been developed and successfully evaluated in clinical trials. This product is being offered on technology transfer mode to interested pharmaceutical/medical product companies for large-scale production and deployment. Indigenously designed and fabricated blood irradiator unit for radiation processing of blood and blood products is ready for evaluation in blood banks. The equipment, duly approved by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, is expected to be located in a few major medical centers like Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai & Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology, Bangalore for initial use. Holmium-166 labelled hydroxyl apatite (HA) particulate formulation has been successfully developed and evaluated for use in radiation synovectomy in knee joints. This indigenous product formulation has been used in treating over 50 joints in collaboration with Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune. Samarium-153 produced by neutron irradiation of natural Samarium oxide targets has been successfully utilized for formulation of Sm-153 phosphonate complex (SmEDTMP) and used for metastatic bone bent palliation in terminal cancer patients. Yttrium 90 formulations have been prepared and evaluated for suitability for medical use, making use of Y-90 made available from SR90-Y90 generator developed at BARC. The satisfactory deployment of generator produced Y-90 opens up an avenue for possibility of an Y-90 delivery system from BARC for interested users in India and abroad. Gamma transmission technique has been successfully used for troubleshooting of field was about 20 which validated the value obtained by modelling studies. The surfacial movement of the sewage was mainly governed by local wind conditions. Heavy seepages (3-4 cusecs) were observed downstream of Chaskaman dam near Pune in Maharastra. Isotopes were used to identify the source of seepage and seepage zones along the dam axis. Interconnection of the reservoir water with the seepages downstream was first established. Next radiotracer experiments carried out in boreholes in the dam axis helped in demarcating the zones of seepage. The results obtained helped the dam authorities to take remedial action. Excessive exploitation of groundwater around Raipur (M.P.) has caused induced flow of polluted surface water to the groundwater. The conceptual model of the system to study hydrogeology of the Karstic Aquifer around Raipur city has been developed. page  page 1 #бЩ Ь╨Э╨дЕ.е┬Aжазаиайакл pr 1 93 93 94ТФ┐└╬╨╦╠╗╝─ ┼ ╒ ╓ N O m n ^_░▒╧╨rsТУst<=└┴-.~лмtu&(а б q"r"l#m#s#t#u#w#x#~##А#Б#В#Е#Ж#л#н#о#п#░#▓#│#╡#╢#╕#■■■№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№■■№№ЇЁЇЁЇЁЇыЇЁщыыыыu PacPcuDPc]hJЬЭ╣║°>У╫ OXЫд╓]~А╩╦╗─ ╒ N m ^░╧rТs<└-~л¤E#·E#ЎE#·E#єE#·E#·E#·E#·E#·E#юE#·E#шE#·E#шE#·E#·E#·E#шE#·E#·E#·E#█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█E#Ю█ E#Ю ╨Ш■h3╨p╨3╨33333'■   ■    ■                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               ла q"k#l#u#v#w#В#Г#Д#Е#Ж#о#░#│#╢#є E#ЮєE#ЮєE#ЮьE#ЮхтрхxтE#ррьE#Юрррр3`3№ h3 ╨Ш■h3╨DocumentSummaryInformation8             ╘                                    K@ё Normal3a c@ Heading 1UБ"A@Є б"Default Paragraph Font>@ЄTitleUБ&C@&Body Text Indenth @ Footer р└!)@в!
