PNRI implements various information, education and communication activities to increase the knowledge and understanding of the public about nuclear science and technology and its beneficial applications. |
Development / Production of Nuclear Information Materials |
The PNRI, through the Nuclear Information and Documentation Section (NIDS), develops information, education and communication materials such as the Annual report, Online Newsletter, brochures/flyers on the beneficial applications of nuclear science and technology in food and agriculture, medicine, industry and the environment, among others.These materials are distributed to the following: PNRI visitors during educational tours, walk-in visitors, students and teachers during nuclear awareness seminars, media people, and to the public during science and technology fairs and exhibitions. |
Educational Resource Materials |
The PNRI has developed two multimedia presentations on CD-ROM entitled "The Atom, Radiation and Radioactivity" and "Nuclear Science and Technology Applications". The CD on the Atom is especially designed for students and teachers in order to give them a comprehensive and factual knowledge about radiation, radioactivity, nuclear safety and the beneficial uses of radiation. The CD on Nuclear Applications features basic information about radiation and its applications in crop improvement, health care, high technology materials development and basic research. |
PNRI Guided Tours |
The Institute offers free guided tour of its facilities and laboratories. The tour includes viewing of the exhibits, lecture-demonstrations and audio visual presentations. |
Guidelines and Policies for Booking of Educational Tours at PNRI: - Dr. Carlo A. Arcilla

Participation in Science and Technology fairs/Exhibitions and Other Special Events |
PNRI participates in science and technology fairs and exhibitions and other special events such as school science/foundation anniversaries. Its officials and technical staff also participate in fora and symposia to provide stakeholders with information regarding various aspects of nuclear science and technology. |
Media Publicity |
The PNRI, with assistance from the Science and Technology Information Institute, keeps the public abreast with developments in nuclear science and technology through media releases and radio/TV interviews of PNRI officials and technical staff. |
Nuclear Awareness Seminars |
PNRI conducts seminars in secondary schools and in colleges/universities nationwide to inform and educate students primarily about the benefits of radiation/nuclear technology. The seminar consists of lectures, video showings and demonstrations of radiation detection equipment/instruments such as survey meters and personnel dosimeters, among others. |
Library Services |
The PNRI Library has a comprehensive collection of scientific and technical information resources in nuclear science and technology and extends these and its research support services to the general public. The Library is open from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. |
