Pune, February 16: RANKING India as a developed country with regard to nuclear fuel, the Atomic Energy Commission president Dr Anil Kakodkar today urged the nuclear industry to improve existing technologies such that nuclear power was the best source of energy for the country.
It provides the Swatantryaveer Sawarkar Memorial lecture at the University of Pune’s Defence and Strategic Studies Division. Vice-Chancellor Dr Ashok Kolaskar, head of the division Srikant M. Paranjape, and others were present.
Given that nuclear energy a clean source of energy, efforts should be made to ensure that economic competitiveness. The nuclear industry should also adopt management practices of innovative projects aimed at reducing the cost of capital and reduce Ausreifungszeit, Kakodkar said.
The fact that to a large extent the development of nuclear power was inevitable, he said the ACS has set a goal of having installed capacity of more than 20000 2020, weighs the situation in the context of ‘acceleration of revenue generation strict From the environment.
The observation that the energy consumption of Independence was one of the most important parameters for achieving economic independence, Kakodkar has been said that this recognized in countries such as France, Japan and South Korea, for the greater part of their energy import needs, but had, over the years an energy policy based on a prudent mix of various forms of electricity generation, whereas First, a substantial portion of their electricity needs through nuclear energy.
This kind of planning was needed in all countries, depending on the availability of fossil fuels, he said, adding that even if fossil fuel was available within a country, its movement to the power station could be affected in times of conflict.

To the Editor: After India's "peaceful" nuclear blast, the international community must wake up more vigorously to prevent India from embarking upon a nuclear weapons program as well as to block further proliferation.
It is necessary that India is a strong nuclear force, and this should be considered one of the highest priorities. The conventional energy sources would not be eternal, while India has a large quantity of thorium, raw materials for nuclear energy. Former President APJ Abdul Kalam, his views to express on the occasion of the 8th conference of the Foundation's Indian Institute of Management, Indore, on Wednesday, said that there is no other alternative to the use of nuclear energy, with the exception of the peaceful use of the march. Dr. Kalam's concern over the issue are warranted. It is
Chennai: As part of the race is 500mW prototype reactor (PFBR) project completely autarkic, a fuel fabrication and reprocessing Kalpakkam is now completed.
Talking about the evolution Dr. Baldev Raj, director, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) said: "We have mastered the fuel cycle technology. The mixed oxide (MOX) fuel burn therefore 50000mw by day / tonne in the fast breeder test reactor. And it is more than 1 lakh MW days / tonne. "(The level of thermal energy from a ton of first updated elements fissile [or a tonne of fuel] is designated as Burn-up. Alternatives Burn-up can also
We feel it at the pump. Fuel prices are at record highs and so is the demand for alternative fuels. But major scientific and technological advances are still required before economically viable alternative fuels become a significant part of the U.S. energy supply.
Researchers across the Georgia Institute of Technology campus are focusing their attention on biofuels. And while most experts agree that biofuels are not the silver bullet to solve the worlds long-term fuel needs, they see biofuels as a necessary complement to conventional oil and gas.
Biofuel research at Georgia Tech intensified in 2004 with the launch of
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- R. Edward Coleman, director of the nuclear medicine division at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., was awarded the 2007 Georg Charles de Hevesy Nuclear Pioneer Award for his contributions to the nuclear medicine profession. The award was presented June 3 during the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the worlds largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals, June 2–6 in Washington, D.C.
With this award, SNM recognizes that Dr. Colemans work has had a meaningful and significant impact on molecular imaging and nuclear medicine practice, said SNM President Martin P. Sandler. The list of previous
The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) continues to pursue its mandate of exploiting nuclear energy for power and non power purposes.
Electricity generation from nuclear power plants during 2004-05 was 17,010 million units. Five nuclear power stations in the country were awarded gold shield, silver shield and certificates by the Government for their meritorious performance during the year 2000-01 to 2003-04. Unit-2 of the Narora Atomic Power station had the longest continuous operation of 272 days from September 21, 2003 to June 19, 2004. Continuous operation of 238 days was also achieved for the Units 1 & 2
The Centre for Family Managed Business (CFMB) conducted a study on the role of career-orientation of businesswomen in family- managed enterprises. The CFMB is part of the SP Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) of Mumbai.
The study has observed increasing participation by female members of the family in family businesses in the recent past.
Such rise in participation has been attributed to nuclear and small families besides lack of enough number of male members to lead growing businesses. Families continue to trust family members instead of reposing faith in strangers. It has, however, been difficult for female family members to
PUNE: Refuting the notion that technologies cannot coexist, former chief vigilance commissioner N. Vittal on Sunday said exploring technologies that would make telecom services viable, especially in the rural sector, was the need of the hour.
He was addressing the 6th national telecom seminar in the city, titled 'The Wireless Conclave', organised by the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management.
Vittal suggested that a combination of wireless technology and direct inward dialling could make rural telephony viable. He cited Bangladesh's grameen (rural) phone scheme, which has not only succeeded in taking telephony to the rural areas, but worked towards the empowerment of women.
