Investigation on the Variation of RMS Charge Radii of Potassium Isotopes Using SKHF Theory
Abstract: Information about the strong nuclear force and Electromagnetic force can be obtained from the nuclear charge radii measurements on a group of nuclei. Recent experimental findings of sudden enhancement of RMS charge radii of Potassium isotopes raised a question about the validity of shell theory of nucleus. This question has been addressed in this article by the inclusion of optimised tensor interaction term in the well tested Skyrme Hartree Fock …

Thorium the Fuel of the Future to Revitalize Nuclear Power Generation
Abstract: After disasters like Kyshtym, Windscale, Fukushima, Chernobyl etc., nuclear energy carried a dreaded stigma. The cost of nuclear power generation in the conventional way is on the rise, and so there is a resurgence in nuclear technology using thorium as fuel. There is a great pressure from international community to reduce carbon emission. So many countries are looking for a path to generate energy that is distinctly different but pays …

Execution of a Large Engineering Project in an R&D Institution- Some Experiences
Abstract: Steam Generator Test Facility (SGTF) was set up mainly to validate the design of the steam generator of the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR). PFBR is a power reactor of 500 MWe after the successful Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR). FBTR was built in collaboration with French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). It was similar to the 40 MWt Rapsodie reactor but had SG modules of the Phenix reactor design in …
