- The Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), an Indore-based unit of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) has developed an instrument called Fluorimeter, to measure traces of uranium in water.
- The device is capable of examining traces of uranium in sample of water from 0.1 PPB (Parts-per-billion) unit to 100 PPB.
- For mass production of this instrument, DAE has transferred its technology to its other unit, Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL).
- The device will be especially helpful in areas like Punjab where uranium traces in water sources have been found to be at dangerous levels.
- Uranium is a radioactive element. The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) has fixed permissible radiological limit to 60 PPB of uranium concentration for drinking water.
