Abstract

The objective of this review paper is to give a comprehensive understanding of the various nuclear techniques in different fields of science, engineering, medicine, agriculture, industry, archology, hydrology, mining, environment, art, space exploration, it contributes in many ways for the development and security in countries worldwide and also it is a roadmap for the developing countries to develop the nuclear technology in different areas. Nuclear techniques essentially utilize the radioisotopes and their decay via a charged particle emission or x-ray/gamma rays. The production and utilization of a selective radioisotope of interest from a nuclear reactor or charged particle accelerator (LINAC, cyclotrons), finds frontier area of research and development in developed/developing countries of the world. It is in this scenario, nuclear research and technology finds a great contribution in socio-economic development of the countries. To develop the importance applications of nuclear science and technology in the developing counties for different aspects and also to increase the socio-economic development in all parts of the world, teaching and researching on utilization of nuclear program should be applicable.
