The INCT presented below losted topics:

• Nominated on the IAEA Collaborating Centre on Radiation Processing and Industrial Dosimetry
• Analysis of the ability to acquire uranium for nuclear energy from domestic resources
• Development of multiparameters test “triage” to assess population exposure to ionizing radiation
• Analysis of the effects of the use of thorium in nuclear power reactor
• Centre of Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry for nuclear power and nuclear medicine
• The impact of nanomaterials on human health: Conclusions from in vitro studies in animal models. Project No: PNRF-122-A1-1/07

The INCT also gave idea for presentation in form of one-act play scenes from Maria Skłodowska-Curie life performed by the Theatre Group “Five-leaf clover” from the School No. 52 in Warsaw.

The Institute presentation includes also a lot of shows and competitions:

• treasure hunt (isotope of low activity – ruthenium 103 Ru103) using Geiger-Muller counter
• (Marta Walo, Rafał Kocia, Iwona Bartosiewicz, Dagmara Chmielewska)
