  • Separating Indian Military and Civilian Nuclear Facilities
    Separating Indian Military and Civilian Nuclear Facilities Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) By David Albright and Susan Basu December 19, 2005 The agreement announced on July 18, 2005 by President George Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh regarding the establishment of a U.S.-India “global partnership” will require changes to U.S. non-proliferation laws and policies and could dramatically increase nuclear and nuclear-related commerce with India. Part of this agreement is an Indian commitment to separate its civil and military nuclear programs and put declared civil facilities under international safeguards. Safeguards should apply in perpetuity, with minor, standard exceptions that do not include use in nuclear explosives or weapons. In addition, safeguarded nuclear material should not co-mingle with unsafeguarded nuclear material in any facility, unless this unsafeguarded nuclear material also comes under safeguards. This latter condition is an example of “contamination,” a key principle of safeguards. Although these conditions do not appear to have been accepted by India, they are necessary to prevent civil nuclear cooperation from benefiting India’s nuclear weapons program. To accomplish these goals, India needs to place all its nuclear facilities not directly associated with nuclear weapons production or deployment under safeguards. India has many civil nuclear facilities in this category. In addition, India should place its nuclear facilities associated with its naval nuclear fuel cycle under international safeguards. Exempting such naval-related facilities from safeguards would undermine efforts to safeguard such facilities in non-nuclear weapon states party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Brazil accepted safeguards on its prototype naval reactor and its enrichment plants at Aramar dedicated to the production of naval reactor fuel.

  • Preparation and Submission of a Manuscript for the Proceedings
    IAEA-TM-38728 (2010) OPERATION AND UTILIZATION OF INDIAN RESEARCH REACTOR DHRUVA SAMIR KUMAR MONDAL Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION The role of research reactors for the development of the nuclear programme of any country is well established. Research reactors are utilized to produce radioisotopes and offer irradiation facilities for testing various nuclear fuel and structural materials. Apart from providing a large volume neutron source for carrying out a variety of experiments, the research reactor forms the basic training facility for grooming scientists and engineers for various aspects of a nuclear programme. India’s fifth research reactor Dhruva, which became critical on 8 August 1985, is a natural uranium fuelled, heavy water moderated and cooled thermal research reactor with a rated power level of 100 MW and a maximum thermal neutron flux of 1.8×1014 cm-2s-1. The indigenously designed and built reactor is located at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay. Dhruva is a product of technological initiatives taken in India during the 1970s with a totally indigenous effort when a need was felt for a research reactor having a high neutron flux to meet the growing demands of research and development. In addition, large scale production of radioisotopes with high specific activity was possible with the commissioning of Dhruva. This high flux reactor was designed and built with many innovative features which were being considered for our power reactors at that time. The reactor has a vertical core and employs natural metallic uranium in seven-pin cluster fuel assemblies installed in Zircaloy guide tubes in a stainless steel reactor vessel.

It is an independent group of arms-control and nonproliferation experts from seventeen countries, including both nuclear weapon and non-nuclear weapon states. The mission of the IPFM is to analyze the technical basis for practical and achievable policy initiatives to secure, consolidate, and reduce stockpiles of highly enriched urani- um and plutonium. These fissile materials are the key ingredients in nuclear weapons, and their control is critical to nuclear disarmament, halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and ensuring that terrorists do not acquire nuclear weapons.

  • Founder's Day Address Friday, October 30,2009
    Founder's Day Address Friday, October 30,2009 By Dr.Srikumar Banerjee Director, BARC Dr.Kakodkar, Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission, senior members of DAE family present here and dear coileagues. It is indeed a matter of great pleasure and proud privilege for me to extend a warm welcome to you all to celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of Dr.Homi J. Bhabha­ the founder of this great institution, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. We celebrate Homi Bhabha's birthday every year on so" October by taking stock of our achievements during the previous year and rededicating ourselves towards our mission oriented tasks related to the development of nuclear science and technology. Launching of Arihant As you all know, the nuclear submarine Arihant has been launched by India in August this year. BARC had a significant role in this major project. The steam generating plant of this submarine was designed, developed and built by BARC. The compact Pressurised Water Reactor was designed for this purpose with several special features; such as, very quick response for power ramping, extremely stable under ship motions and resistance against exposure to very high acceleration, resulting from eventual depth charges. Since the nuclear reactor is fuelled with high fissile containing fuel, it can supply energy in the submerged condition for an extended period without refueling. Many systems and equipment designed and built were first of its kind in the country. The entire steam generating plant has been designed to give highly reliable offshore operation in a completely isolated environment. Control and instrumentation design is fault tolerant and requires minimum operator interventions.
