MITRA MEMORIAL AWARD LECTURES INDIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING April 2018 Award Lecture Series of Indian National Academy of Engineering EDITORIAL The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) functions as an apex body that promotes the practice of engineering and technology in solving problems of national importance. Its activities include formulation of technology policies, promotion of quality engineering education, and encouraging R&D activities. With an objective to promote engineering excellence INAE has instituted Professor Jai Krishna and Professor S N Mitra memorial awards. These awards are given to an eminent engineer, engineer-scientist or a technologist for academic and scholarly achievements in any discipline of technology/outstanding research in engineering and technology and application thereof/outstanding contributions in the management of education and research in engineering/outstanding achievements and contributions in the Indian industry, engineering services and engineering projects. The present volume is a compilation of the award lectures of both Professor Jai Krishna and Professor S N Mitra memorial awardees since its inception. The INAE sincerely appreciates the efforts of the Awardees in bringing out this special volume of the INAE and hopes that the award lectures will promote the general philosophy of INAE, particularly to the younger generation.

  • 1 Founder's Day Speech by Chairman, AEC 2015 As We Celebrate Dr
    Founder’s Day Speech by Chairman, AEC 2015 As we celebrate Dr. Homi Bhabha’s 106th birth anniversary, I would bring out some of the major milestones achieved in the Indian nuclear programme beyond those at BARC (which I reported a short while ago) during the past year. Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (NPCIL), responsible for operating nuclear power plants in India, generated 37,835 MUs of electricity the highest ever, in 2014- 15, with a Capacity Factor of about 82% and Availability Factor of 88%. In the current year, NPCIL has generated 19118 MUs of electricity during April to September 2015. The first unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, which achieved its first criticality in July 2013, started commercial operations from December 31, 2014, taking the country’s installed nuclear power capacity to 5780 MWe. The second unit at Kudankulam is expected to be commissioned early next year. Indian nuclear power plants continue to register records of long continuous runs. This year, two more continuous operation of more than a year of our NPP has been registered: Narora Atomic Power Station Unit-2 registered continuous run of more than a year and completed 518 days on September 27, 2015 (prior to planned shutdown); Kaiga Generating Station Unit-4 registered continuous run of more than a year and completed 419 days of continuous run before start of its biennial shutdown on July 28, 2015. Following the completion of construction of the 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR), its commissioning is in progress. BHAVINI has made application for regulatory clearance for the stage-wise commissioning, namely, sodium filling, fuel loading followed by criticality and raising of power.

Once again the vessel was evacuated and leak tested successfully. Once the base vacuum 2 X 10-7 Torr was achieved, the Glow Discharge Cleaning (GDC) system was tested successfully with required safety and operational interlocks. The image shows the in-vessel view under GDC glow with toroidal limiter, GDC anode, to- roidal loop, poloidal limiters, magnetic diagnostics rings etc. Currently, the wall conditioning of Aditya-U vessel and first wall components by GDC is ongoing and it runs continuously for 12 hours during night. Other wall conditioning setups of ECR-DC and PDC are in final stage of installation and testing.
