GENERAL INFORMATION 9
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (INCT) is one of the successors of
the Institute of Nuclear Research (INR) which was established in 1955. The latter
Institute, once the biggest Institute in Poland, has exerted a great influence on the
scientific and intelectual life in this country. The INCT came into being as one of the
independent units established after the dissolution of the INR in 1983.
At present, the Institute research activity is focused on:
• radiation chemistry and technology,
• radiochemistry and coordination chemistry,
• radiobiology,
• application of nuclear methods in material and process engineering,
• design of instruments based on nuclear techniques,
• trace analysis and radioanalytical techniques,
• environmental research.
In the above fields we offer research programmes for Ph.D. students.
At this moment, with its nine electron accelerators in operation and with the staff
experienced in the field of electron beam (EB) applications, the Institute is one of the
most advanced centres of radiation research and EB processing. The accelerators are
installed in the following Institute units:
• pilot plant for radiation sterilization of medical devices and transplants,
• pilot plant for radiation modification of polymers,
• experimental pilot plant for food irradiation,
• pilot plant for removal of SO and NO from flue gases,
2 x
• pulse radiolysis laboratory, in which the nanosecond set-up was put into operation
in 2001. A new 10 MeV accelerator was constructed in the INCT for this purpose.
Based on the technology elaborated in our Institute, an industrial installation for
electron beam flue gas treatment has been implemented at the EPS “Pomorzany” (Dolna
Odra PS Group). This is the second full scale industrial EB installation for SO and
2
NO removal all over the world.

In 2005, the INCT scientists published 76 papers in scientific journals registered in
the Philadelphia list, among them 46 papers in journals with an impact factor (IF)
higher than 1.0. The INCT research workers are also the authors of 23 chapters in
scientific books published in 2005.
In 2005, the Ministry of Education and Science (MES) granted 5 research projects.
Altogether the INCT is carrying out 23 MES research projects including 3 ordered
projects and 1 implementation project, and 6 research projects supported financially
by the European Commission.
Annual rewards of the INCT Director-General for the best publications in 2005
were granted to the following research teams:
• First degree group award to Krzysztof Bobrowski, Dariusz Pogocki, Grażyna
Strzelczak, Paweł Wiśniowski, Anna Korzeniowska-Sobczuk for a series of
papers concerning radiation and photochemically induced radical processes in
thioether compounds.
10 GENERAL INFORMATION
• Second degree group award to Aleksander Bilewicz and Krzysztof Łyczko for the
contribution to a series of papers concerning fundamental studies and relativistic
effects and their influence on cations of the heavy elements of the sixth period.
• Third degree individual award to Andrzej Pawlukojć for the contribution to a series
of papers concerning the application of inelastic scattering of thermal neutrons as
well as Raman spectroscopy and infrared methods for studying the structure of
organic charge transfer (CT) compounds.
In 2005, the INCT scientific community was especially active in organizing scien-
tific conferences. In total, in 2005, ten international meetings have been organized:
• Mini-symposium “Free Radicals and Neurodegeneration” (24 January 2005, Warszawa);
• First Planning and Coordinating Meeting in the frame of the Technical Cooperation
Project RER/8/010 “Quality Control Methods and Procedures for Radiation Tech-
nology” (21-25 February 2005, Warszawa);
• Future INCT Research Programmes – Preparation of IAEA Country Programme
Framework (CPF) for Poland 2006-2012 (28 April 2005, Warszawa);
• Fourth National Conference on Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry (9-11 May
2005, Kraków-Przegorzały);
• European Young Investigator Conference 2005 (EYIC 2005) (7-12 June 2005, Gniezno)
• National Symposium on Nuclear Technique in Industry, Medicine, Agriculture and
Environmental Protection (7-9 September 2005, Kraków)
• VI International Comet Assay Workshop (22-24 September 2005, Warszawa)
• 2nd Poland-Japan Workshop on Materials Science “Materials for Sustainable Devel-
opment in 21st Century” (12-15 October 2005, Warszawa);
• VIII Training Course on Radiation Steerilization and Hygienization (20-21 October
2005, Warszawa);
• III Conference on Problems of Waste Disposal (21 November 2005, Warszawa).
The international journal for nuclear research – NUKLEONIKA, published by the
INCT, was mentioned in the SCI Journal Citation List.
