BRIT Overview

Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology (BRIT) is an Industrial Unit of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. The pioneers of the Indian Atomic Energy Programme, having foreseen the importance of the applications of radioisotopes in diverse fields, conceived a separate organization - BRIT - to promote this non-power sector in tandem with the principal pursuit of Nuclear Power generation. BRIT commenced administration of the production programme along commercial lines on March 01, 1989.

BRIT provides a broad portfolio of products in the form of Radiopharmaceuticals, Labelled Compound and Nucleotides, Sealed Radiation Sources, Gamma Chambers, Blood Irradiators and Radiography Exposure Devices. BRIT also offers Isotope Application services, Radioanalytical services, Calibration and Dosimetry services and Radiation Processing Services besides Project Consultancy services for setting up Radiation Processing Plants in the private sector.

BRIT has a wide geographic coverage through its six Regional Centres located at Bengaluru, Delhi, Dibrugarh, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Kota. BRIT’s focus on harnessing the benefits of radioisotope applications and radiation technology across industry, healthcare, research and agricultural sectors continues to create a visible impact by fulfilling societal needs through its various commercial ventures all over India.
