THEME MEETING ON 'ADVANCES IN REACTOR PHYSICS: DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND OPERATION OF NUCLEAR REACTORS'

摘要

Reactor Physics plays a major role in the design and safe operation of nuclear reactors. DAE is embarking on several new projects, like the WER, advanced 700 MWe PHWR, a Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) and large scale thorium utilisation by way of an Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR). The physics of these reactor types encompasses a wide spectrum of various fields of Reactor Physics. It was appropriate that at this juncture a theme meeting on "Advances in Reactor Physics - Design, Analysis and Operation of Nuclear Reactors" was organized by RPDD during May 24 - 25, 2007. This meeting was held in the multipurpose hall of TSH, Anushaktinagar and was attended by 170 nominated participants from BARC, IGCAR, AERB, NPCIL, SRI-AERB and a few ex-scientists of BARC. The participants were also from different fields apart from Reactor Physics.
