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.
