Background

the Atomic Energy Act in 1948

Atomic Energy Commission -Chairman - Dr. H.J.Bhabha

basically the research activities on physics,

Chemistry, Electronics in laboratories In 1954 decided for a full-fledged atomic energy

programme

Atomic Energy Establishment" at Trombay for

carrying out research and development activities a separate Ministry directly under Prime Minister

Government of India vested AEC with fullexecutive powers


4/28

Atomic Energy Act (1962)

empowers the Union Government.

i) to develop and dispose atomic energyand electric power from it.

ii) to produce, acquire and disposeradioactive materials.iii) to declare its areas as "prohibitedareas"

iv) to provide for control over radioactive

substances and to ensure public safety.v) to provide for control over mining ofnuclear raw materials such as Uranium.


5/28

Atomic Energy Commission

i) to formulate the policy of DAE for

consideration by Prime Minister.

ii) to prepare yearly budgets

iii) to ensure implementation of the tasks

allotted to DAE.

functions of the DAE

1. Nuclear Power Programme(from mining of Uranium through production of

electricity to disposal of waste)2. Research and Development

(fundamental research in Physics, Chemistry,

applications in medicines and agriculture besidesthe research for the nuclear power programme).3. Service (such as purchase and stores,management services etc)

international relationsinvolving United Nations,International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna andthe foreign countries in peaceful uses of atomicenergy.

safety organisation

Atomic Energy Regulatory Board ;

reporting directly to the commission

AERB is assisted in its regulatory

functions by Safety Review Committee(SRC)

SRC is responsible for evaluating and

enforcing industrial and radiologicalsafety in all units of the DAE

R & D

three major centres of Research are :

1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre,

Trombay (BARC)

2. Indira Gandhi Centre For Atomic

Research, Kalpakkam (IGCAR)

3. Centre of Advanced Technology,

Indore (CAT)

BARC

Founded in 1957 as the Atomic EnergyEstablishment at Trombay

Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Metallurgy,reprocessing, fuel fabrication, wastemanagement, radio- isotopes, electronics,biology, agriculture, medicines

developed indigenously the technology formanufacturing reactor components, fuellingmachines, computer controls and otheranalytical techniques.

provides expert advice and services forRadiation Protection, Waste management andfuel reprocessing

Runs Training School for nuclear Scientists andengineers since 1958

Nuclear Power

self reliance ensured in all aspects of nuclearpower generation starting from prospecting andmining of uranium to the fuel reprocessing andwaste management.

units1. Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL)

2. Indian Rare Earths Limited (IRE)

3. Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC)

4. Electronics Corporation of India Limited(ECIL)
