India's Atomic Research


               Indian's Atomic Research

India's atomic energy research started with the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission on August 10, 1948.
Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) was established in 1954, for implementation of atomic energy programmes.

1. Bhabha Atomic Research Center ( BARC ) It was set up in 1957, as the Atomic Energy establishment  at Trombay, near Mumbai and in 1967, was renamed as BARC in the memory of its founder  Dr Homi Bhabha. It is the premier national center for Research and Development. ( R&D) work in nuclear energy and related disciplines. At present, BARC houses three research reactors 
(i) Apsara ,a one MW Swimming pool type reactor.
(ii) Cirus, a 40 MW reactor.
(iii) Dhruva, a 100 MW high power nuclear research reactor.

2. Center for Advance Technology ( CAT) It was established in 1984, at Indore to coordinate research in high technology fields like lasers, fusion and accelerations . The centre was built two Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRSs) called Indus I and Indus II and developed versatile lasers for various applications.

3. Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research ( IGCAR)  It was set up in 1971, at Kalpakkam in Madras for research and development of fast breeder technology.
IGCAR designed Fast Breeder Test Reactor ( FBTR) which uses indigenous mixed fuel with a plutonium and natural uranium base.

4. Atomic Mineral Directorate (AMD) It is located in Hyderabad and carries out surveys, exploraty and evaluation of the resources required for the atomic eny programmes of the country.

5. Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC) It was setup in 1977, at Kolkata as anational centre for advanced work in nuclear chemistry, nuclear physics, production of isotopes for various applications and radiation damage studies on reactor materials.
