Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay
Positions Held: Scientific Officer-C (1979-1983) & Scientific Officer-SD (1984-1985)
During my time at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, I contributed to key projects that advanced reactor safety, instrumentation, and control systems:
- Microprocessor-based Gaseous Fission Products Monitoring System (GFPMS) – Developed a system to monitor the fuel rods of the CIRUS reactor, detecting failed rods through a microprocessor-based detection mechanism. This reduced environmental contamination caused by faulty fuel rods.
- Computerized Reactor Control Systems Analysis – Conducted stability analysis of reactor control systems using PRIMOS on PRIME-450, VMS on PDP-11, and BESM-6 mainframe systems, improving reactor operations' safety and reliability.
- Reactor Control Instrumentation Installation – Assisted in the commissioning of control instrumentation for the R-5 (Dhruva) reactor, ensuring the system's optimal functionality.
