The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre<\/strong> (BARC<\/strong>) is India’s premier nuclear research<\/a> facility, headquartered in Trombay<\/a>, Mumbai<\/a>, Maharashtra<\/a>, India. It was founded by Homi Jehangir Bhabha<\/a> as the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay<\/strong> (AEET<\/strong>) in January 1954 as a multidisciplinary research program essential for India’s nuclear program. It operates under the Department of Atomic Energy<\/a> (DAE), which is directly overseen by the Prime Minister of India<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BARC is a multi-disciplinary research centre with extensive infrastructure for advanced research and development covering the entire spectrum of nuclear science<\/a>, chemical engineering<\/a>, material sciences<\/a> and metallurgy<\/a>, electronic instrumentation<\/a>, biology and medicine, supercomputing<\/a>, high-energy physics<\/a> and plasma physics<\/a> and associated research for Indian nuclear programme<\/a> and related areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BARC’s core mandate is to sustain peaceful applications of nuclear energy<\/a>. It manages all facets of nuclear power generation<\/a>, from the theoretical design of reactors to, computer modeling and simulation, risk analysis<\/a>, development and testing of new reactor fuel, materials, etc. It also researches spent fuel processing and safe disposal of nuclear waste. Its other research focus areas are applications for isotopes<\/a> in industries, radiation<\/a> technologies and their application to health, food and medicine, agriculture and environment, accelerator<\/a> and laser<\/a> technology, electronics<\/a>, instrumentation<\/a> and reactor control and material science<\/a>, environment<\/a> and radiation monitoring<\/a> etc. BARC operates a number of research reactors<\/a> across the country.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its primary facilities are located in Trombay<\/a>, with new facilities also located in Challakere<\/a> in Chitradurga<\/a> district of Karnataka<\/a>. A new Special Mineral Enrichment Facility which focuses on enrichment of uranium fuel is under construction[when?<\/a><\/em>]<\/sup> in Atchutapuram<\/a> near Visakhapatnam<\/a> in Andhra Pradesh<\/a>, for supporting India’s nuclear submarine<\/a> program and produce high specific activity radioisotopes for extensive research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
