For the past few years, there have been wars between many countries where the warring countries are threatening each other with nuclear attacks. In the last nuclear attack in Japan, more than 1 lakh people lost their lives, the biggest reason of which was the radiation released from there, which leaves its mark for a long time.

Moreover, it is also used in hospitals. Thallium is used in imaging technology in hospitals. This antidote, developed by DRDO, will be available in the market under the name Pru-Decorp.
