Research directions of scientific problems

1) Radiation safety, Radioecology
Research of the radionuclide and chemical composition of the environmental components of the country, paying special attention to the territories liberated from occupation, systematization of the obtained results, processing to be placed in a single electronic database, preparation of the radiation risk management mechanism

2) Radiobiology
Effect of radiation on biological organisms, determination of stimulating dose, application of radiation technologies to increase the productivity of agricultural plants and their resistance to extreme environmental effects, determination of sterilization dose, preparation of protectors to protect substances from radiation effects

3) Radiation Physics of Solids
Research of physical processes occurring under the influence of radiation in semiconductor, magnetoelectric and polymer materials, determination of the effect of implanted elements, including nanoparticles, on the speed and direction of these processes, acquisition of materials with properties given by the influence of radiation, radiation-stimulated modification of materials, increasing the continuity of radiation and managing operational characteristics

4) Chemistry of high energies
Studying the kinetics and mechanism of physico-chemical processes that occur under the influence of radiation in hydrocarbon and water-based systems, finding optimal conditions for obtaining and modifying hydrogen, olefins, polymers and high-molecular materials widely used in practice in these systems, studying the laws of degradation of pollutant mixtures, study of post-radiation effects

5) Use of renewable energy sources and hydrogen energy
Investigating ways to increase the efficiency of conversion of energy received from solar, wind and small hydropower plants into heat and electricity, conducting scientific-research and project-design work in the field of obtaining hydrogen, synthetic gas and liquid fuel from water and mineral resources with the use of these energies separately and in combination

6) Preparation of ray receiving and signalling devices
Research of silicon-based photoelectronic amplifiers, their application in the creation of beam receivers, development, testing and application of protection-signaling devices with high sensitivity and coverage
