Research in nuclear and analytical chem- istry, nuclear chemical engineering and technology (including fuel cycle), radiochemistry and radiation chemistry, and radiobiology were carried out mainly in the Chemistry Divi- sion, located at Warsaw Żerań, which became the interdisciplinary Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (INCT) in 1983. The INCT is Poland’s most advanced institution in the fields 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 iso- topes, 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 field 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
