Kinetic isotope effect effects, while "k"/"k" ~ 1.15-1.3 are typical for β secondary kinetic isotope effect. For reactants containing several isotopically-substituted β-hydrogen atoms, the observed isotope effect is often the result of several H/D's at the β position acting in concert. In these cases, the effect of each isotopically-labeled atom is multiplicative, and cases where "k"/"k" > 2 are not uncommon. The following simple expressions relating deuterium and tritium kinetic isotope effects, which are also known as the Swain equation (or the Swain-Schaad-Stivers equations), can be derived from the general expression given above using some simplifications: i.e., In deriving these expressions, the reasonable
Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology also manufactures self-luminescent tritium filled sources. The organisation also develops radiation-based medical equipment to treat cancer. BRIT operates three radiation facilities, one of them a spice and allied products irradiation facility in Vashi and another a "Krushak" (Krishi Utpadan Sanrakshan Kendra) radiation processing plant at Nashik. G. Ganesh is BRIT's Chief Executive officer since 1 August 2015, succeeding Anil Kumar Kohli (2006-2015). Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology in short known as "BRIT" is a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy with its headquarters in Navi Mumbai, India. It is involved in production,
