IAEA started a six -month certificate course on nuclear engineering to promote future experts. India strengthened the role in global nuclear research with new GCNEP facility
Director General of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Gossi inaugurated the SN Bose Bhawan at the Global Center for Nuclear Energy Partnership at Sushma Swaraj Bhavan today. He also introduced a certificate course on nuclear engineering during the program.
On this occasion, the Director General of IAEA, Grosi highlighted the importance of global cooperation in nuclear science and capacity building. Dr. Ajit Kumar Mohanty, Secretary, Department of Atomic Energy and Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, confirmed India’s commitment to further nuclear and economic development by using nuclear power.
The new SN Bose Bhavan, nominated in honor of eminent Indian physicist Dr. Satyendra Nath Bose, will serve as an advanced center for research and training in nuclear science and technology. This feature has state -of -the -art laboratories for special schools of GCNEP, which enhance their abilities in nuclear safety, reactor technology, radiation safety, nuclear material characteristics and radio isotope applications.
Certificate course on nuclear engineering launched during the incident is a six -month program which is reactor Physics, Nuclear Fuel Chakra,
Radiological safety, nuclear safety measures and designed to provide intensive knowledge on emerging applications of nuclear technology. The course is planned to open for all signators of GCNEP globally and it will complete 40 international and 10 national participants in a batch. The course aims to promote a new generation of atomic professionals equipped to contribute to safe, safe and durable use of nuclear power. GCNEP member countries confirmed their commitment to global nuclear cooperation, emphasizing advanced reactor technologies, workforce development, education and training and public outreach. Discussions highlighted the expansion of international partnership, non -proliferation and bilateral cooperation.
The role of nuclear power in ensuring energy security by reducing climate change was underlined, as well as its contribution to health care, cancer care, technical cooperation and global health research. Senior officials of diplomatic, ministry of External Affairs and Atomic Energy (DAE) of GCNEP partner countries were present at the event. The Global Center for Nuclear Energy Partnership continues to strengthen India’s role as a global leader in nuclear research, innovation and capacity-building, which supports the comprehensive approach to achieving net zero and promoting permanent energy solutions worldwide.
