The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) is India's premier nuclear research facility, headquartered in Trombay, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.It was founded by Homi Jehangir Bhabha as the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay (AEET) in January 1954 as a multidisciplinary research program essential for India's nuclear program.
The Dhruva reactor is India's largest nuclear research reactor.It was the first nuclear reactor in Asia proper. [1] Located in the Mumbai suburb of Trombay at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), it is India's primary generator of weapons-grade plutonium-bearing spent fuel for its nuclear weapons program.
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) set up a large infrastructure to facilitate the design and development of these advanced heavy water reactors. Things to be included range from materials technologies, critical components, reactor physics, and safety analysis. [4] Several facilities have been set up to experiment with these reactors.
Bhabha is considered the "father of the Indian nuclear programme" [134] [135] [136] and one of the most prominent scientists in the country's history. [137] [138] After his death, the Atomic Energy Establishment at Mumbai was renamed the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in his honour.
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) had the highest number of publications in the thorium area, across all research institutions in the world during the period 1982–2004. During this same period, India ranks an overall second behind the United States in the research output on Thorium. [39]
India achieved a major success in terms of breakthrough in science and technology when the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) detonated an underground nuclear device at Pokhran in the deserts of Rajasthan on 18 May 1974. [2] It has six research centres in India viz. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai
Fast Breeder Test Reactor in Kalpakkam. The Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) is a breeder reactor located at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, India The Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) jointly designed, constructed, and operate the reactor.
Anupam is a series of supercomputers designed and developed by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) for their internal usages. It is mainly used for molecular dynamical simulations, reactor physics, theoretical physics, computational chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, and finite element analysis.
