TNN | Feb 22, 2011, 11.55pm IST VISAKHAPATNAM: The new unit of the Baba Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Visakha district, which is three times bigger than the one at [url="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Trombay"]Trombay[/url] ( [url="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Mumbai"]Mumbai[/url]), will become [url="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=operational"]operational[/url] in five years.



Delivering the address at the Nucar-2011 (Nuclear and radiochemistry) meet here on Tuesay, Prof P Rama Rao, chairman of Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS) in the department of automic energy, said the new BARC research centre in Visakhapatnam would be a suitable place to train the required manpower for the nuclear sector.



He stressed the importance of trained and efficient human resource for making the country's nuclear programmes successful. He said the universities must follow the practices of reputed universities like Harward University to meet the global standards.



BARC director Prof V Venugopal said initially a core group of scientists would function from the new unit at Vizag. He hoped the new centre would strengthen nuclear research activities.

Looks like as part of seperation plan Trombay is being transplanted near the Arihant factory and lair.



One can only wonder how well R5 and Cirus will be replaced and expanded to meet Indian requirements.
