Summary on Foundation Course onNuclear Energy (FCNE)Navi Mumbai, India18 January to 21 February, 2015(Organized by DAE & NPCIL)Presented by Md. Khalid HossainScientific OfficerInstitute of Electronics, AERE, BAEC

Program ObjectivesThe FCNE has been developed as fundamental course for young scientists/engineering professionals ( having reasonable industrialexperience), particularly for new comer countries that seek to develop nuclear power. The proposed program will enable the transfer of generic nuclear power plant knowledge to participating country towards their capacity building efforts.

Different Indian Nuclear Facility visit

BARC VisitIn BARC we visited the following facility

100 MW Research Reactor (Dhruva), 2. Reprocessing and Nuclear Waste Management facility &3. Division of Remote Handling and Robotics.

KudanKulam NPP (KKNPP) Visit

Kudankulam NPP (KKNPP) visit

During the visit we came to know that there was a protest form the public which stopped the construction for more than a year. At the beginning there was no problem but due to communication gap between NPCIL and local community some anti-nuclear protesters took the opportunity to spread rumors about NPP among local people.
