Director's Message Nurturing and Channelizing Energy
Nurturing and channelizing energy of the atom,
and of young minds has been my vocation for
more than three decades now. With the sheer
pleasure of a mentor, I welcome this opportunity
that has come my way to mould the young,
aspiring and inquisitive minds and ready them
for the most happening career in present times
– nuclear engineering. With the nuclear industry
riding on the wave of nuclear resurgence
sweeping across countries across continents,
young engineers seeking a high reward career,
with challenges albeit, are likely to join this
industry as a natural choice.
With the vision of creating a nuclear workforce
to be picked up by the best in the industry, and
be counted amongst the best in the world, we
have structured a highly practically oriented
course around Zwentendorf - the world's only
'green' nuclear power plant, for experiential
learning which is unheard of in most of the
nuclear training programmes, and around
Atominstitut's reactor, TRIGA III, that has been
used for research and training for decades. Both
these facilities located in Austria, are revered by
the nuclear fraternity as the mecca (ultimate
destination) of nuclear engineering training.
In short, offering you the best resources to cull
out a great global career in nuclear engineering.
What lends charisma to this industry is its
approach of cutting across disciplines and
experimenting with amalgamations of subjects Former Director Department of Safeguards,

belonging to different fields of engineering to
arrive at highly specialized professions in the
nuclear industry. So, engineers with varied
specializations are encouraged to opt for nuclear
engineering. It's a preparation for scientific
creativity to find expression and arrive at unique
patterns of concepts - the meaningful whole, or
the Gestalt as we call it in German, and develop
subsequent applications which offer solutions
relevant to the economy and society.
Every age is earmarked in history with certain stissues, events and catalyst personalities. The 21
century has thrown up the challenge of dealing
with global warming, limited fossil based fuel
along with the plausible solution of nuclear
derived energy. The reasons for pursuing a career
in the nuclear industry have received ample
attention in the inside pages. So, connect to the
spirit of the present times (the Zeitgeist), you are
likely to become the change agent of these
turbulent times.

Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha (1909-1966), one of the most distinguished scientists of the nuclear fraternity worldwide scripted the
nuclear path to India's energy security - the 3 Stage Nuclear Power Programme, which is so impeccable in design that it needs no revision. Having mastered the first stage of the programme, India is now stepping into its second stage.
Homi Bhabha: The Visionary andHis Vision
My personal muse has been the unequivocal
statement of the architect of India's nuclear
energy programme, Homi Jehangir Bhabha,
“I am burning with a desire to do physics, I will
and must do it sometime. It is my only
ambition….It is no use saying to Beethoven 'You
must be a scientist for it is a great thing' when he
did not care two hoots for science; or to Socrates
'Be an engineer, it is the work of an intelligent
man'.”
After going through the brochure, you must
decide whether you desire to be the Beethoven,
the Socrates or the Homi Bhabha of this age.
My sincere regards,

Keeping in mind the immediate
industry needs, a specialized

has been added to the
programme. It is to be conducted
in association with Seibersdorf

On the Home Turf
Indigenization and self-sufficiency were interwoven,
at the very inception, in the Indian nuclear power
programme, by Dr. Homi Bhabha, the founder of
India's 3-Stage Nuclear Power Programme. This
involves the utilization of limited uranium resources
available in the country (in Stage 1) and goes on to
use thorium which is found in great
abundance in the sands of Kerala.
India's march towards indigenization in reactor
technology was set off, in 1970s, by the decision of
the Nuclear Supplier's Group (NSG) to ostracize it
from the elite group of nuclear enabled countries due
to its refusal to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT). And undoubtedly, India has done well
despite the nuclear apartheid – the vast expanse of
the country is dotted with nuclear power plants in
operation, under construction and spots earmarked
for planned construction.
In its almost 4 decades of isolation, India has
mastered the Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor
(PHWR) technology and is, today, ready to export
small and mid-size PHWR technology to the nations
on the verge of rolling out civilian nuclear
programmes. The development of the Fast Breeder
Reactor (FBR) technology (for Stage 2) at Kalapakkam
is attributed entirely to the ingenuity of the Indian
(in Stage 2)
nuclear scientists. The future transition from FBR to
Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) technology
(for Stage 3) will have a multiplier effect on the
nuclear capacity of India and will ensure the energy
security of the nation.
Apart from following the 3-Stage Plan, India has
adopted the Russian Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR)
technology at the Kudankulam site to accelerate its
power generation capacity.
India has planned ambitious targets of achieving
nuclear capacity of 20,000 MWe by 2020, 63,000 MWe
by 2032, and fulfilling almost half of the electricity
needs of the nation by 2050.
New Players in the Indian Nuclear Industry
The NPCIL has spearheaded the Indian nuclear
energy programme for over 3 decades. To propel its
ambitious programme of expansion and scaling up, it
is forming alliances with several allied industry giants
in India and abroad. With the freeze thawed by the
NSG in 2008 after almost 4 decades, and the signing
of the Indo-US civil nuclear agreement, India has
entered into technological and commercial relations
in the nuclear arena with leading international
nuclear giants and several countries such as the USA,
Russia, France, UK, South Korea, Canada, Argentina, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Namibia.
Perceiving nuclear power as the next big wave to sweep
across the Indian power sector, many Indian industry
stalwarts are marking an entry in the nuclear space.
These include:
l National Aluminium Co. Ltd. (NALCO)
l Indian Oil Corporation (IOC)
l Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC)
l Indian Railways
l Reliance
l GVK Industries Ltd.
l GMR Group
The overseas reactor vendors foraying
into India include:

l Korea Electric Power Co. South Korea
From Indigenization to Commercialization
India's 20th nuclear powerplant goes critical Press Trust of India Kaiga, | November 27, 2010
India's 20th nuclear power plant on Saturday became operational in Kaiga taking the total installed atomic power capacity in the country to 4780 MW. The indigenously-developed 220 MW capacity Unit 4 of the Kaiga Atomic Power Station attained criticality at 8.07.22 a.m. making India the sixth country in the world to have 20 or more nuclear power plants in operation.

I found that whereas sanctions slowed progress in nuclear energy, they made India self-sufficient and world leaders in fast reactor technologies. While much of the world’s approach to India has been to limit its access to nuclear technology, it may well be that today we limit ourselves by not having access to India’s nuclear technology developments. Such technical views should help to advice the diplomatic efforts with India

The A to Z of Nuclear Engineering
The Republic of Austria, a beautiful country situated in Central Europe is surrounded by Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
One of the richest countries in the world, as reflected by its nominal per capita GDP of $43,723, its population enjoys a high standard of living and is, therefore, ranked 25th in the world on the Human Development Index.
Showcasing a great deal of European grandeur, art, history and culture, it blends with modernity very well as defined by its international, multicultural approach.
Formally a part of the European Union and a member of the United Nations, it falls under the Schengen Area comprising 25 European countries forming a borderless zone.
Nuclear Physicists of Austrian Origin
Austria has produced scientists who have made key contributions in nuclear research and quantum mechanics (see pictures below). Their pioneering efforts and path breaking research work have set the course of nuclear energy as early as in the 1920s and 1930s.

Zwentendorf
Keeping in sync with the axiom of learning, PM DIMENSIONS has developed an understanding with the EVN Group, the owners of the Zwentendorf nuclear facility, to use it as a training facility for the nuclear training programmes offered by PM DIMENSIONS worldwide. Located on the banks of river Danube, in Tullnerfeld, 20 miles upstream from Vienna, this nuclear power plant is a combination of striking contrasts – it is Austria's first nuclear power plant, but never put in operation; its start supported by the then Chancellor, Dr. Kreisky, but rejected in a referendum by the people of Austria, 50.5% voted against it; its operation frozen on November 05, 1978, is today warming up to training nuclear engineers, after three decades.
A Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) with a capacity of 692 MWe, this plant offers excellent training opportunities for the simple reason, that while the whole plant exists, no fuel has been loaded in its reactor, nor has it been operated. Consequently, there are no constraints regarding accessibility to any part of the plant.
The students of the CNEP Global programme will be provided near live training at the Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant in Austria. Taking advantage of the ease of accessibility, the students will be trained in the various systems of the nuclear power plant, including those systems which are not accessible in an operating power reactor with fuel and the associated
radioactivity. The students will have a walk-through around the plant to see and study the various equipment, systems, and instrumentation and control systems of the plant.
The students will be able to closely examine the various equipment and systems. They will also be able to operate the mechanical equipment like pumps, valves in the plant systems. Thus, they can acquire an understanding of the actual behaviour of the equipment and the plant system. The students will also get similar hands-on experience on some of the plant instrumentation and control systems. This will enable them to study and understand the plant behaviour under changing conditions and how the plant is controlled.
A simulated emergency exercise will also be planned and carried out, in which the students will participate. This will enable them to understand the elements of emergency planning and the actions to be carried out to mitigate the consequences of emergencies.
This training will enable the students to gain adequate practical understanding of a nuclear power plant and its components / equipment so that they are well equipped to tackle the tasks assigned to them in their profession, including handling emergencies.

Atominstitut
The Atominstitut or the Institute of Atomic and Subatomic Physics was founded in 1958 as an inter-university institute for all Austrian universities and started operation in 1962, when the TRIGA Mark II research reactor of the institute was officially opened. It was dedicated to research and training in the areas of atomic, nuclear and reactor physics, radiation physics, radiation protection, environmental analytics and radiochemistry, nuclear measurement technology and solid state physics.
Since then quantum physics, quantum optics, low temperature physics and superconductivity have developed as additional focus points of research. Right from the beginning, the Vienna University of Technology was chosen as the administrative body of the institute, which however maintained its status as an independent legal entity for over three decades.
Today, the Atomic Institute is one of four physics institutes at the Vienna University of Technology and forms the Physics Faculty of the Vienna University together with the Institutes for Theoretical, General and Solid State Physics.
The permanent personnel of the institute comprise 25 scientists and 29 technical staff members. Project assistants (36 at present), employed
through externally acquired funds, have become increasingly important and most valuable for fulfilling the research and training goals of the institute, where around 50 students are working on their diploma or doctoral thesis.
The organizational structure of the institute comprises several central units, particularly reactor operation and radiation protection, and 6 research areas as follows: applied quantum physics, atomic physics and quantum optics, nuclear physics and nuclear particle physics, neutron and quantum physics, radiation physics as well as low temperature physics and superconductivity. Some of these departments have developed strong scientific links worldwide; others serve as most valuable training and educational centres for international organizations, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency.
PM DIMENSIONS Gmbh has tied up with the Atominstitut to include some of their courses relevant to the CNEP-Global Programme.
The Atominstitut or the Institute of Atomic and Subatomic Physics offers a large number of lectures and lab courses in the above research areas, which form an integral part of all curricula offered by the Physics Faculty.
