Industrial Visit @ Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) -March-2015

Industrial Visits provide an excellent opportunity to students to interact with the Industry and know about Industrial Environment and it helps in combining the academic knowledge with practical experience. This is generally arranged with an objective of giving the students functional exposure in different Industrial sectors.

This year TIMSCDR arranged for an Industrial Visit to Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) on Monday, 27th  March, 2015 for Second semester students.

Altogether 53 students and 7 faculty members were part of this visit to BARC.

BARC is a premier multi-disciplinary Nuclear Research Centre of India having excellent infrastructure for advanced Research and Development with expertise covering the entire spectrum of Nuclear Science, Engineering and related areas.

The visit started with a brief introduction and overview of BARC to the students highlighting the advantages of nuclear energy and its potential applications in biomedical research, food security, material sciences, nanotechnology, waste management, energy security, crime detection, use of radioisotopes, brachytherapy, teletherapy.The students were then taken for the tour to different facilities.

SUPERCOMPUTING Facility: (BARC) here has developed a very high speed ANUPAM -XENON/128 bit supercomputer, achieving another significant milestone in the field of supercomputers. The computing speed of this 128 processor ANUPAM supercomputer is 202 Giga Floating Point Operations per Second (GFLOPS) on High Performance LINPAC benchmark program and is about three times faster than the 64 -node supercomputer developed in July 2002.The BARC supercomputers are being used for solving very large computational problems in the fields of Condensed Matter Physics Simulations, Electronics Structures and Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Radiation Chemistry, Atmospheric Chemistry, Finite Element Analysis of non-linear problems, Computational Fluid Dynamics.

NUCLEAR REACTOR Facility: It contains Dhruva reactor, India’s largest nuclear research reactor .It is India’s primary generator of weapons-grade plutonium-bearing spent fuel for its nuclear weapons program. Originally named the R-5. It is designed as a larger version of the CIRUS reactor, Dhruva was an indigenous project built to provide an independent source of weapons -grade plutonium free from safeguards. The Dhruva project cost 950 million rupees. The reactor uses heavy water (deuterium) as a moderator and coolant. Aluminum clad fuel rods containing natural uranium are used to obtain a maximum power output of 100MW. According to conservative estimates, the reactor produces an average of 16 –26 kg of weapons -grade plutonium per year in its spent fuel.

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Facility:  The lab is equipped with modern scientific equipments like Microarray Instrument. A microarray is a multiplex lab-on-a- chip. It is a 2D array on a solid substrate (usually a glass slide or silicon thin –film cell that assays large amounts of biological material using high – throughput screening methods. Also, the students got an opportunity to visit electron microscopy lab, where they learnt the functioning of Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) which provides highly magnified view of micro -and nanostructures. The high resolution imaging mode of the instrument helps in predicting the atomic arrangements in a sample.

Robotics and AGV Facility: An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) based material transfer system has been developed, for automated transfer of materials between supply station, machining, and assembly units of a typical manufacturing setup. The same concept can also be used for automated transfer of radioactive materials from one point to another of a nuclear establishment (e.g., NFC, BRIT). Automated loading and unloading operations are performed by programmed motion of powered roller conveyors onboard the AGV, and on corresponding stationary units.

The visit was absolutely an incredible experience.
