There are many peaceful applications of nuclear energy viz. in medicine, food processing, power and industry. However, there is a need to adopt all the safety procedures while dealing with nuclear systems. As you are aware, we have plans to generate 20,000 mega watts of power through nuclear sources. Irradiation of grains can be done as a preservative technique. Nuclear medicine is being used for treatment of thyroid and cancer etc.
