New Year Message from

Director, BARC
Dear Colleagues,
! "
It gives me great pleasure to #
$ %
welcome you all to the New
Year 2004. I take this opportunity to " &
$
express my happiness for the advances & '
% ( )
made in BARC during the year goneby in
& !"
various fields of nuclear science and technology because of your " *
unstinted cooperation and professional contributions in our *
&
pursuit for excellence in basic and applied sciences. My " + ,
,
compliments to each one of you not only for your individual as -
well as collective contributions to our all-round advances but - +
. ) /0 .
also for the efforts you have taken to reach the benefits of the 1 2
same to the common people. 2 3
4/

The year 2003 has been particularly the year of great 5 6

professional satisfaction because of our achievements in the field 6 "
+ '
of nuclear power, agriculture and food preservation, health care, ' 7 &
"

!
& %
desalination and industry as well as for the appreciation of the same by the
people at large. All the facilities recently commissioned, viz., Research Reactor
CIRUS and WIP at Trombay, Medical Cyclotron – PET facility at RMC, SHRI at
Vadodara, KRUSHAK at Lasalgaon, Desalination Plant at Kalpakkam, Bio-gas
Plant (NISARGRUNA), etc., have been performing well. It is also heartening to
see that the mixed carbide fuel supplied by BARC for FBTR at Kalpakkam has
performed extremely well (by logging more than 1,20,000 MWd/Te of burn-up
without any failure). Dedication to the nation by the Hon’ble President of India
on October 10, 2003 at Sankara Netralaya, Chennai, of our I-125 based
miniature brachy therapy source for treatment of ocular cancer and indigenous
development of state-of-the-art Co-60 based Teletherapy unit have been special
landmarks in our contributions towards health care of the society. Equally
commendable has been our progress in realization of yet another technology
(viz., Ceramic Joul Melter) for vitrification of high level waste. Our development
work on Advanced Heavy Water Reactor is nearing completion. We have also
progressed considerably in our development efforts for some of the important
technologies for the future (viz., Compact High Temperature Reactor,
Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System etc.). The various other programmes
which we have been pursuing in the X Plan are the steps in the direction for
building an economically strong India by utilizing nuclear science and
technology for its long term energy security along with equally important
contributions in the fields of health care and food security.

Friends, I am confident that with your sustained cooperation, hard work, total
commitment and complete dedication, BARC would relentlessly pursue as a well
orchestrated team to achieve our goal of placing India amongst the giants in the
field of nuclear science and technology.

Finally, let me also take this opportunity to convey my Season’s Greetings and
Best Wishes for the New Year to all my colleagues from BARC and the members
of their families.
