Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology in short known as "BRIT" is a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy[1] with headquartered in Navi Mumbai.[2] It is involved in production and supply of radioisotope based products and provision of isotope applications, radiation processing, radioanalytical services etc. It has regional centres at Rawatbhatta-Kota in Rajasthan,Bengaluru in Karnataka, Delhi, Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh, Kolkata in West Bengal and Dirugarh in Assam. It has about 500 emloyees. [3]
It produces and supply a variety of radioisotope products including sealed radiation sources, radiochemicals, labelled compounds of carbon-14, tritium and sulphur-35 and nucleotides labelled with phosphorus-32, radiopharmaceuticals and RIA kits, gamma radiography equipment and gamma laboratory irradiator systems to users in the country and abroad. Range of sealed radiation sources include Co-60 irradiator and radiography sources, Ir-192 radiography sources and brachytherapy sources. BRIT also manufactures self-luminescent tritium filled sources.[4]
