Ravi B. Grover is an Indian nuclear scientist and a mechanical engineer. He is the founding vice-chancellor (during initial years he was designated as director equivalent to vice-chancellor) of the Homi Bhabha National Institute, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission, [1] chairman of the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences, a fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering, [2] and ...
India's first reactor and a plutonium reprocessing facility, Mumbai, as photographed by a US satellite on 19 February 1966 When Homi Jehangir Bhabha was working at the Indian Institute of Science, there was no institute in India which had the necessary facilities for original work in nuclear physics, cosmic rays, high energy physics, and other frontiers of knowledge in physics.
Iyengar joined the Tata Institute for Fundamental Research, Department of Atomic Energy in 1952 as a junior research scientist, undertaking a wide variety of research in neutron scattering. He later got shifted to Atomic Energy Establishment (later renamed as Bhabha Atomic Research Centre) when it was formed in 1954.
In 1963, the laboratory became a constituent part of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre [3] and it is managed by BARC's Astrophysical Sciences Division (ASD). [4] In 1974, to assist HARL in executing different research projects in the field of nuclear physics and radiation physics, Nuclear Research Laboratory was set up in Srinagar. [5]
The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) (IAST: Paramāṇu Ūrjā Vibhāga) is an Indian government department with headquarters in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. [3] DAE was established in 1954 with Jawaharlal Nehru as its first minister and Homi Bhabha as its secretary.
Monazite powder, a rare earth and thorium phosphate mineral, is the primary source of the world's thorium. India's three-stage nuclear power programme was formulated by Homi Bhabha, the well-known physicist, in the 1950s to secure the country's long term energy independence, through the use of uranium and thorium reserves found in the monazite sands of coastal regions of South India.
The Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI) is an Indian deemed university established by the Department of Atomic Energy, which unifies academic programmes of several of its constituent institutions. Deemed universities in India have been divided in three categories by the Ministry of Human Resource Development ( MHRD ) and HBNI has been placed ...
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) set up a large infrastructure to facilitate the design and development of these advanced heavy water reactors. Things to be included range from materials technologies, critical components, reactor physics, and safety analysis. [4] Several facilities have been set up to experiment with these reactors.
