  • Agriculture : soil erosion and water management, mutation breeding in crop production, sterile insect technique and food irradiation.
  • Industry : supporting the production and quality control, non-destructive testing (NDT) for heavy industry to analyze and evaluate the properties of materials, components or systems without causing any damage and the gemstone irradiation in order to enhance its optical properties.
  • Education : nuclear techniques for geological and cultural heritage researches and scientific studies of art and archaeology providing a neccessary complement for cultural heritage conservation, preservarion and investigation
