Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC), the pivotal industrial arm of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) with the mandate to fuel the nuclear power programme of the country, has enhanced its capacity from 100 MT to 1,500 MT and is getting ready to increase production by another 500 MT from the upcoming Kota facility on its 50th anniversary.
Chairman and chief executive Dinesh Srivastava informed that the former Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) chairman and now member Anil Kakodkar will be the chief guest for the golden jubilee celebrations scheduled to be held at the campus on June 9.
In an official release, he claimed that NFC is the “only organisation in the world to have a comprehensive manufacturing cycle from ore to core, involving processing of both uranium and zirconium streams under the same roof”.
