The Board of Radiation And Isotope Technology (BRIT), a division under the department of atomic energy, will soon inaugurate in Navi Mumbai the country's second food irradiation plant for commercial application. Built at a cost of Rs 5 crore , the plant will offer irradiation facilities for spices. The first such plant was kicked off in Naskik (Maharashtra) couple of years ago for onions.
