| Abstract | This paper briefly discusses recombination luminescence and its use in forensic radiation dosimetry. Recombination luminescence techniques offer a new capability for radiological forensic analysis of sites and vehicles previously cleared of isotopic contamination, enabling the determination of the prior presence of radioactive materials. This key ability, to provide radiation exposure data after the ionising radiation sources and radioisotopes have been removed, gives luminescence a unique applicability in scenarios where it is not possible to obtain radiation dose data by any other means. Three principal areas of application to National Security and Defence have been identified: 1. Forensic Analysis of sites and vehicles to confirm prior containment of radiological materials, i.e. "dirty bomb" transportation, storage and assembly sites, 2. Support to International Nuclear Weapons Inspection initiatives, for identification of clandestine nuclear programs in now isotopically-cleansed facilities such as buildings, bunkers and other localities, and 3. Retrospective Population Dosimetry - quantification of absorbed dose to the population in the recovery phase after a dirty bomb or nuclear accident. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
