[ RadSafe ] Help Needed in India

[Lorna Hubble]

I have been contacted by a Cornell graduate student who is currently in 
India for a year.  She has an experiment that she needs to do that involves 
using Co-57 and taking measurements with a Mossbauer spectrometer.  She has 
no training with radioactive materials and to date hasn't been able to tell 
me how much activity she intends to use, but instead is telling me the 
amount in units of drops.  She doesn't think there is a health and safety 
group where she is.  She is at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced 
Scientific Research in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.  Is there anyone on 
this list who is near that area or knows someone in that area that might be 
able to help her out?  I don't know the regulations in India, but I assume 
that she would also need to perform this experiment under a license?  Any 
help or advice would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

Lorna
