HIGHUGHTS'88 MARCH 1989 Published by Library & Information Services, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay. Bombay - 400 085. Printed at, Sudarshan Art Printing Press. Bombay - 400 031. FOREWORD Work done in the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre covers a wide spectrum of activities ranging from basic research in physics, chemistry, and biology to applied research and development needed to provide support to the nuclear programme. Some of the work is in frontier areas such as high temperature superconductivity and inertial confinement fusion. A substantial part of the effort is related to nuclear power reactor technology and the different stages of nuclear fuel cycle. Basic and applied research in life sciences carried out at Trombay ranges from investigations on the origin of life to developing improved varieties of groundnut, rice, etc., and application of new techniques for speedier propagation of economically important plant species through the technique of tissue culture. As a part of the basic research, a number of sophisticated instruments such as neutron diffractometer and spectrometers are also being developed at Trombay. Development of new methods for fabricating fuel elements, setting up of highly sophisticated facilities to test complex reactor components, development of computational techniques in order to carry out theoretical investigations on the performance of reactor components, are all part of the work being done at Trombay. Though an account of the work being done at Trombay is given in the regular annual reports, BARC Highlights '88 presents a few selected topics and accomplishments during 1988.1 hope this report will be found useful and informative by the scientific community.

    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.
