About the Organizers
The Materials Group of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) is actively involved in the research and development of various materials for various applications to cater the nuclear energy requirement of India. Corrosion of nuclear materials in simulated nuclear reactor water chemistry is a major activity in Materials Group for the past several decades.
Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) operate different commercial nuclear power reactors across India, such as PHWR (220 MWe and 700 MWe), PWR (1000 MWe VVER) and BWR and water chemistry control is a major focus area of NPCIL.
The Indian Institute of Metals is a professional body and its activities include organizing national and international technical conferences and programs, scientific publications etc.
