Research in nuclear and analytical chemistry, nuclear chemical engineering and technology (including fuel cycle), radiochemistry and radiation chemistry, and radiobiology were carried out mainly in the Chemistry Division, located at Warsaw Żerań, which became the interdisciplinary Institute of Nuclear Chem- istry and Technology (INCT) in 1983. The INCT is Poland’s most advanced institution in the fi elds of radiochemistry, ra- diation chemistry, nuclear chemical engineering and technology, application of nuclear methods in material engineering and process engineering, radioanalytical techniques, de- sign and production of instruments based on nuclear techniques, environmental research, cellular radiobiology, etc. The results of work at the INCT have been implemented in vari- ous branches of the national economy, particularly in industry, medicine, environmental protection and agriculture. Basic research is focused on: radiochemistry, chemistry of isotopes, physical chemistry of separation processes, cellular radiobiology, and radiation chemistry, particularly that based on the pulse radiolysis method. With its nine electron accelerators in operation and with the staff experienced in the fi eld of electron beam ap- plication, the Institute is one of the most advanced centres of science and technology in this domain. The Institute has four pilot plants equipped with six electron accelerators: for radiation sterilization of medical devices and transplantation grafts; for radiation modifi cation of polymers; for removal of SO2 and NOx from fl ue gases; for food hygiene. The electron beam fl ue gas treatment in the EPS Pomorzany with the accelerators power over 1 MW is the biggest radiation processing facility ever built. The Institute represents the Polish Government in the Euroatom Fuel Supply Agency, in Fuel Supply Working Group of Global Nuclear Energy Partnership and in Radioactive Waste Management Committee of the Nuclear Energy Agency (Organisation for Eco- nomic Co-operation and Development). The INCT Scientifi c Council has the rights to grant D.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in the fi eld of chemistry. The Institute carries out third level studies (doctorate) in the fi eld of nuclear and radiation chemistry and in 2016 four Ph.D. theses were defended. One Ph.D. thesis was defended at the University of Montpellier 2 (Co-tutelle). The Institute won one of the ten projects granted in the action 2 of Erasmus+ pro- gramme. This project “Joint innovative training and teaching/learning program in enhancing development and transfer of application of ionizing radiation in materials processing” is in- tended to fi ll up the gap of education quality between different region of EU countries.
