Required a Research Associates (Three posts) in BRNS sponsored Project entitled, Studies on aerosol behavior under severe accident conditions in the context of ‘Indian Nuclear Reactor’ by setting up of National Aerosol Facility. The appointment is purely temporary and on contractual basis.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

National Aerosol Facility (NAF) will address the aerosol behavioral issues in Indian Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) and generate a comprehensive database to facilitate the development of in-house analytical tools. This facility will serve as a state-of-the-art test facility for studying current outstanding aerosol mechanistic behavior issues in safety assessments pertaining to the Indian PHWRs. It will also serve as a national facility for Indian researchers to carry out customized experiments in the field of aerosol science and technology as it pertains to nuclear power. NAF will be at par with other international facilities for nuclear aerosol studies; hence collaboration with international institutes is also envisaged. This is going to be first facility of its kind in academic institute of Asia and is of great National importance. This new facility will help quantify the aerosol source term simulators of 'Severe Reactor Accident Scenario' and their impact on the environment.
