India develops indigenous thoron mitigation system for its Nuclear Facalities

[Chanakya's_Chant]

Mangalore University & BARC Develop First Of Its Kind Thoron Mitigation System In India​

MANGALORE: Mangalore University has developed a thoron mitigation system in collaboration with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for collaborative research programmes. The development of a simple and inexpensive activated charcoal-based mitigation system will find immense application in continuous removal of radon and thoron (which are radioactive gases) from off-gas streams of uranium and thorium processing facilities.

This new system has the potential to offer numerous advantages over conventional systems for the continuous removal of radon and thoron from air in industrial workplaces. Spin-off applications of the system include remediation of radon and thoron problem in mining and processing industries, site remediation, and reduction of personal radiation exposures due to radon and thoron. Other potential application is recovery and isolation of radioactive Xenon and Krypton gases in workplaces.

While a team of scientists led by N Karunakara of the Radioecology Research Laboratory, University Science Instrumentation Centre, Mangalore University have designed and fabricated the system, BARC has provided necessary support in theoretical calculation and calibration of the system. Subsequently, scientists of Mangalore University carried out experiments on radon and thoron absorption efficiencies of charcoal, holding capacity, degassing characteristics, and fabrication of prototype mitigation system.

The radioecology research laboratory of University Science Instrumentation Centre, Mangalore University is involved in extensive research in frontline areas of radiation protection and radioecology for the last 20 years. BARC funded the MoU research programme. Scientists involved from BARC in developing the system are D N Sharma, director, health safety and environment division, Y S Mayya, B K Sapra and B Sahoo. Technology and prototype system are in the process of transfer to BARC.

Karunakara told TOI that the system, a high end technology is the first of its kind in India. "It finds its application in nuclear facilities where mined uranium and thorium, critical to India's nuclear power generation programme, is processed." This is the first such system developed indigenously for similar technology developed abroad is classified. K Byrappa, Vice Chancellor, Mangalore University will formally transfer the prototype system to a team of scientists from BARC on July 18.

Well, India is up to the task........

 

[SrNair]

Well, India is up to the task........

Please explain.

 

[he-man]

Nice,,speed it up further.................we need to catch up asap

 

[Taha Waseem]

Please explain.

Dont u know that? India is producing and has a huge increase in the production of arms and nuclear power. Trenches and ditches r being built along our border for storing weapons and that is not a good indicator. After, almost every day, a comment from the Indian government and leaders of certain political parties says that we can attack Pakistan. They r in a full mood of doing so and the matter of Kashmir is getting intense day by day and other situations and events near the Afghan border are not at all favorable. Well, It is a little too early to say but honestly speaking that India wants a war with Pakistan and that is why the production of arms is rising at an intense rate, u can also look at the Indian Budget, a huge amount of money was spent on military and weaponry, this is not just it but this matter goes on and on.......

LOL!! Thand rakh bhai. Indian has bigger problems to solve.

That is why I asked to explain.I expect an answer like this.
Some cheap publicity politicians who made that type of Bs dont involved in our policy making.And look at the article
it is the development of an advanced tech.
We have lot of other issues.Pakistan is just only neighbour thats all.

You are not right. We follow No first use principle. So we need an arsenal which may survive first strike and give us a capability to retaliate with an unacceptable damage to enemy. SO we have to build a strong arsenal and should take all action to protect that.

Regarding the defense budget, it is small compare to other countries inclusive of Pakistan in terms of percentage of GDP.

Well i had said in my reply that it is too early to say but the situation seems like that. a

And regarding the budget, comparatively the % seemed to have been dropped because if talking about previous years the value of the Indian rupee was weaker. Summing up the situation and an increase in 10%.

What do nuclear power have to do anything with it ?

well i never understood this paranoia in land of the pure "india wants to invade pakistan"

my question is ... WHY ?

1.what does pakistan has that india wants which it doesnt has already ?

2. why on earth would india want to destroy all it has achieved in last 66 years? just because .. khair jane do


wellsir we actualli dont need to invade you at all ... look cloeslli around you and think with a cool head why should we ?

your very own creations which incedenteli your establishemnt created to avenge repeated humiliation is doing the job pretty well

as for this latest increase in rebuilding neuklear related infra and putting more resources in upgrading was long overdeu so brother get owt of this fixation that india willever attack pakistan ..... if we want to set things right with your nation then there are many other "peacfull methods" for that ... war is the main cause of all problems not the solution ...have a nice day

I thought that the research mentioned in the post is somewhat related to reducing pollution from nuclear and other industrial systems.
"This new system has the potential to offer numerous advantages over conventional systems for the continuous removal of radon and thoron from air in industrial workplaces. Spin-off applications of the system include remediation of radon and thoron problem in mining and processing industries, site remediation, and reduction of personal radiation exposures due to radon and thoron.

Where the hell does the war come in place.

Anyways, Good for India and Environment.........

This means that the rise i budget is very much justified.

U are a good man and an educated person, I am glad u said that but some of ancient Hindu people who look back at old times really want this-sad to say

salaam waseem bhai

now the thing is what india is doing with its neukleear infra its its internal matter and indian tax payers are paying for that and i dont think pakistanies should be alarmed about it so brother dont take it otherwise ... thanks
