Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology

Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology in short known as "BRIT" is a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy with its headquarters in Navi Mumbai, India. It is involved in production, development, 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 employees.

BRIT previously operated under the aegis of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre before being made into a separate entity as of March 1989. However BRIT's name remains synonymous with BARC, as strong ties continue to exist between the two organisations, including collaborations on a variety of projects, sharing of office campuses, etc.

It produces and supply a variety of radioisotope products including radioisotope generators, 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. The organisation also develops radiation-based medical equipment to treat cancer.

BRIT operates three radiation facilities, one of them a spice and allied products irradiation facility in Vashi and another a "Krushak" (Krishi Utpadan Sanrakshan Kendra) radiation processing plant at Nashik.

G. Ganesh is BRIT's Chief Executive officer since 1 August 2015, succeeding Anil Kumar Kohli (2006-2015).
