24th National Symposium on Radiation Physics (NSPRP-24)

The Indian Society for Radiation Physics (ISRP) was formed with a primary objective of providing a common forum to Scientists and Engineers working on different basic as well as applied aspects of ionizing radiation. The idea of forming ISRP originated during the National Symposium on Radiation Physics (NSRP) held in Mumbai in 1970 under the inspiring leadership of Dr. A. K. Ganguly. The memorandum of constituting ISRP was issued in July 1973 and was formally inaugurated by Dr. Raja Ramanna during the 2nd NSRP at the University of Mysore on June 10, 1976. Scientists and Engineers from national laboratories, research scholars and academicians from universities and institutions of higher education, and professionals from industry are members of ISRP. To facilitate the nationwide activities in the field of radiation physics, many chapters of ISRP have been formed. These include the chapters at Mumbai, Kalpakkam, Patiala, Kolkata, Mysore, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Dharwad and Hyderabad. ISRP launched publishing newsletters, popular brochures, and technical reviews on various aspects of ionizing radiation. The list of publications includes ‘Ionizing Radiation for Non-Destructive Evaluation’, ‘Safety of Nuclear Power Reactors’, ‘Isotope Tracer Applications in Industry and Civil Engineering’, ‘Solid State Nuclear Track Detector: theory & applications’, and ‘Monte Carlo methods. National Symposium on Radiation Physics is conducted once in two years in collaboration with universities, research institutes and DAE units, to provide a platform for the scientists. young researchers, and students of Radiation Physics to share their work, knowledge and observations with each other. The previous symposium – NSRP-23 with the theme “Innovations in radiation physics” was held at Department of Studies in Physics, University of Mysore during January 19-21, 2023. The present symposium NSRP-24 focuses on the theme “Reactor and Radiation Physics” and it will be held during March 27-29, 2025 in Mumbai.
