Q104 (IAS/2008) Science & Technology › New Materials, Energy & Environment-linked Tech › Nuclear energy technologies Answer Verified

With which one of the following is BRIT (Government of India) engaged?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

BRIT stands for the Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology and is explicitly described as a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy involved in the supply of radioisotopes [1]. The organisation collaborates in production and supply of radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals for medical and diagnostic use, demonstrating its operational focus on isotope technology rather than transport or IT services [2]. BRIT is also listed among specialist bodies working with radioactive sources and related nuclear/radiation facilities, reinforcing its role in handling isotopes and radiation technology within India’s atomic energy framework [3]. Therefore, the option “Isotope Technology” correctly identifies BRIT’s area of engagement.
