Mangalore University
CENTRE FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH IN ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY (CARER)

Areas of Research

  1. Standardization of techniques for 14C and 3H measurements in environmental matrices and evaluation of population doses in the vicinity of the PHWR power plant.
  2. Studies on transfer factors and transfer coefficients for radioactive and non- radioactive elements in the environment with emphasis on transfer to food chain around nuclear facilities and mining regions.
  3. Baseline studies around proposed nuclear facilities and mining regions.
  4. Radioecological impact assessment studies around nuclear and thermal power plants.
  5. Neutron activation analyses of environmental matrices.
  6. Development of new techniques for radon/thoron measurements and mitigation.
  7. Use of radionuclides to study the environment– application of 137Cs, 7Be, 210Pb, and 210Po as tracers and chronometer.
  8. Uranium and thorium series disequilibrium studies.
