The Report was presented to Rajya Sabha and laid on the Table of Lok Sabha on the 13th March, 2018. 2. Action Taken Note (ATN) has been received from the Department of Atomic Energy in respect of all the twenty nine recommendations/observations contained in the Three Hundred Fourteenth Report. This has been categorized as follows:- Chapter I: Recommendations/Observations which have been accepted by the Government: Para:- 3.7, 6.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.12, 7.13, 8.6, 8.7, 10.5, 10.6, 10.9, 11.9, 11.10, 11.13, 11.15, 12.8, 13.9, 13.11, 14.5, 15.3, 16.6, 17.7, 17.8, 18.11, 18.12, 18.13 and 19 (Total – 27). Chapter II: Recommendations/Observations which the Committee does not desire to pursue in view of the Government’s replies: Para:- 13.10 and 15.6 (Total – 2). The Committee is convinced with the replies furnished by the Ministry and, therefore, does not want to pursue above-mentioned recommendations further. Chapter III: Recommendations/Observations in respect of which replies of the Government have not been accepted by the Committee: Para:- Nil Chapter IV: Recommendations/Observations in respect of which final replies of the Government are still awaited: Para:- Nil 3. The details of the ATR have been discussed in the respective Chapters in the succeeding pages. CHAPTER-I RECOMMENDATIONS/OBSERVATIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE GOVERNMENT MAJOR PROGRAMMES Recommendation/Observation 1.1 The Committee notes with satisfaction that in the last sixty four years of its existence, the Department of Atomic Energy has mastered a host of highly complex technologies particularly in the field of R&D, medical radiology, nuclear agriculture, desalination, food irradiation, radio astronomy, supercomputing, particle accelerators, plasma and cryogenics. True to the visions of Dr. Homi J. Bhabha and Jawaharlal Nehru of envisaging the usage of atomic energy to make a difference to the social life of Indians, the DAE should now strive to scale it up and take it to the next level. The Committee feels that the share of nuclear power which is hovering around only three percent of India's total electricity generation, needs to be increased to higher proportions and earnest efforts should be made in that direction. (Para 3.7) Action Taken 1.2 The share of nuclear power has remained around 3% of the total electricity generation since its inception in 1969, thus keeping pace with the growth of total generation in the country. 1.3 The share of nuclear power in total electricity generation depends on the generation by nuclear power units and that by other technologies. This is largely dependent on the installed capacities of the nuclear and other technologies. 1.4 The share of nuclear power is proposed to be progressively increased by installing more nuclear power capacity in the country. Presently, nuclear installed capacity in the country is 6780 MW and 6700 MW capacity is under construction (including PFBR of 500 MW, being implemented by BHAVINI). The total nuclear installed capacity will reach 13480 MW with the progressive completion of the under construction projects by 2024. In addition, the Government has accorded administrative approval and financial sanction for 12 new reactors with a total capacity of 9000 MW. The present nuclear power capacity is expected to increase to 22480 MW by 2031 on progressive completion of these projects. More nuclear power projects are also planned in future. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS Recommendation/Observation 1.5 The Committee observes that on the whole, financial performance of the Department has been satisfactory. The Committee finds that the Department has been able to utilise more than 95% of allocated RE funds, in the years 2015-16 and 2016-17. However, the Committee feels that there is still some scope for improvement. The Committee, therefore, recommends the Department to make a firm resolve and intensify its efforts to ensure that maximum utilisation of resources is ensured.

My name is Reeves Yanez and I will be the coordinating crisis director. I am a Junior at William & Mary majoring in Kinesiology with a concentration in Public Health. I have done MUN since middle school and since I have become increasingly involved, competing as part of W&M’s travel team, staffing our conferences, and serving as the USG for specialized agencies and Director General for our middle school conference, WMIDMUN. Outside of MUN, I love to spend time outside, leading students on backpacking trips through the student rec center. I am beyond excited to see what you all bring to the table as we discuss such an exciting topic with so many possibilities. I would encourage you to use history as a guide as you change the future of the subcontinent, but don’t be constrained by it.. The historical outcome was not perfect and I look forward to the alternate solutions you put forward. I especially value creativity and novel solutions, and plans that account for contingencies will be the most successful. With that being said there may be some sensitive subjects covered in this committee and we have high expectations of delegate conduct.

  • University Colloquium
    Savitribai Phule Pune University (formerly University of Pune) University Colloquium New Paradigms for India’s Energy Future Dr. Anil Kakodkar, FNAE, FNASc Chairman, Rajiv Gandhi Science & Technology Commission. Former Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission, Govt. India Environmental Science Conference Hall, Savitribai Phule Pune University Campus, Pune - 411007 @ 4:00 pm on Friday, 27th September 2019 Abstract India's energy consumption would need to grow around 4-5 times, keeping in line with her developmental aspirations and the strong correlation between human development index and per capita energy consumption. There are serious issues related to energy security and sustainability, balance of payments as well as climate change with the energy resources that are in current use. There is thus a need to look at new energy paradigms. Luckily, our domestic energy resource profile is consistent with our needs and we can secure India's energy future if only we develop relevant technologies without waiting for others to develop them. The lecture will discuss these aspects in broad terms. About the speaker Padma Vibhushan Dr. Anil Kakodkar (born on 11th November, 1943) joined the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in 1964, following the one year post graduate Training with top rank in Nuclear Science and Technology in the then Atomic Energy Establishment. He became the Director of BARC in the year 1996 and was the Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission and Secretary to the Government of India, Department of Atomic Energy, during the years 2000 -2009. He was DAE Homi Bhabha Chair Professor during Jan. 2010-Jan. 2015 and INAE Satish Dhawan Chair of Engineering Eminence during Jan.

  • The National Academy of Sciences, India (Nasi) (The Oldest Science Academy of India)
    The NaTioNal academy of ScieNceS, iNdia (NaSi) (The Oldest Science Academy of India) (1) Need to set up the Institution? or the need that the Institution fulfils with regard to scientific inquiry? The 1st World War and the world-wide economic depression caused a setback to scientific research globally - much more so in India whose scientists found it difficult even to publish their research work since they had to be almost entirely dependent on foreign journals. The post-World War India also saw the rise of the freedom movement which incidentally also drew attention to the numerous problems of the Indian people like poverty, hunger, diseases, recurrent floods, droughts, famines etc. Patriotic scientists felt deeply concerned with these. It was in this background that the idea of establishing a forum for scientists, which would bring them together to discuss and find scientific solutions to the problems of the country, was mooted by Prof. Meghnad Saha, a great scientist, patriot and then Professor of Physics at Allahabad University in 1929. His views were published in December 1929 issue of the Allahabad University magazine in an article entitled 'A Plea for an Academy of Sciences'. Thus, the National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI) was founded in the year 1930, with the objectives to provide a national forum for the publication of research work carried out by Indian scientists and to provide opportunities for exchange of views among them. Further, the large base of its esteemed Fellows & Members made the Academy capable of generating ideas/views etc. on several important socio-scientific issues; and the Academy’s role was recognized as a ‘Think Tank’ by many, including the government after independence.
