EDITOR’S SPACE The saga of India Canada nuclear collaboration –
Some recollections M R Iyer1 and R C Pant2 The nuclear
collaboration between India and Canada had been the most successful
collaborative ventures embarked by India which led the country to
develop mastery over the entire nuclear fuel cycle at Trombay. That
was extremely fruitful in the past and the recent agreement reached
by India has rekindled hopes that Indo-Canada nuclear collaboration
will be soon re-established to lead to new avenues. On this
occasion it is natural that the news evokes some nostalgic memories
of that era of collaboration. The advent of Nuclear Technology in
India was a great event for a nation that had just woken from the
slumber of centuries. It was important as it happened within a
decade of Independence when the population was just coming to terms
with pangs of nascent birth. Technologies from west were gradually
entering the country over previous century, but those were mainly
to increase market for service industry and were not likely to
generate grassroots scientific revolution. The nuclear science and
technology field presented a different picture. Dr. Bhabha was
ahead of times and fortunately had full backing of Pandit Nehru,
then prime minister with his progressive scientific outlook and had
his explicit support. From the scratch he boldly started setting up
of Asia’s first nuclear reactor. He used the relationships he had
cultivated during his scientific career in Britain to create
scientific infrastructure. The
research reactor APSARA was commissioned on August 4, 1956 which
was of complete indigenous design, only the fuel came from Harwell
UK on long term lease. Dr. Bhabha enabled this in view of his
personal friendship with Sir John Cockcroft enabled this. We must
remember that at that time even China did not have plans to make a
reactor. Old timers still remember an entry by Chou En- Lai in the
visitors’ book in APSARA during his visit in 1960 looking forward
to India helping China to design a reactor! Maybe, the seeds of
Chinese nuclear ambitions were sown at that time in his mind! In
those days APSARA was located in very remote corner of Bombay and
probably the staff walked from last BEST bus stop opposite to the
then newly commissioned Burma Shell refinery through the Tata
Thermal Power Station. From APSARA, next step to CIR (Canada India
reactor, as CIRUS was known in the initial days) was huge. It was
bringing Heavy Water Reactor Technology to India. Many of the
initial crops of Indian scientists and engineers got training at
the Chalk River laboratories. This included late Dr.P.K.Iyengar who
worked with Prof. Brockhouse at Chalk River in 1956-58 using NRX
reactor to develop neutron spectrometers which was part of the work
for which Dr. Brockhouse was awarded the Nobel prize in 1994. The
advance type of neutron spectrometers set up by Dr. Iyengar at CIR
was one of the earliest research utilization of the reactor. Under
Colombo Plan, India and Canada had one of the most successful
nuclear co-operations in the past. Dr Bhabha's leadership and his
close personal relationship
-
News Letter of AERWA Vol 16 No 4 July-August 2015 [3]
with Dr Lewis of Canada were instrumental in the successful
India Canada collaboration program to build one of the most
advanced research reactor concepts of NRX at the time and were
duplicated in India. In those days of cold war and secrecy this
appears very strange, but Eisenhower's Atoms for peace initiative
for which Dr Bhabha was called upon to preside over the first
Geneva Conference in 1955 perhaps also enabled this to happen.

Canada’s involvement in atomic energy started during Second
World War when it was decided to shift British atomic energy
research across Atlantic. At that time Canada was a British
Dominion. At the helm of affairs was Sir Cockroft with several
Cambridge colleagues including Dr. Lewis assisting him. Canada
built natural Uranium fuelled and Heavy water moderated research
facility (NRX) with the aim of producing Plutonium badly needed by
USA for its weapon program in the earlier days. It was all over on
August 6, 1945 with destruction of Hiroshima. When war came to an
end and with the setting up of uranium enrichment plants there was
no immediate need for this plutonium, produced in Heavy Water
reactors. Canada had large uranium resources for electrical power
generation, but still pursued this route of technology and soon
found a willing partner in India. Dr Lewis was the chief of Atomic
Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) at that time. He and Dr Bhabha were
friends from their Cambridge days and shared interest in Physics,
Music and Art. Lewis as a devout member of Anglican Church, firmly
believed that he had a contribution to make to mankind. This led to
collaboration between India and Canada. As per his assessment,
India perhaps was a backward country to absorb an advanced
technology but proved otherwise. NRX of Canada was duplicated as
Canada India Reactor (CIR) behind Trombay hills. It was a bird
watching place for the famous Salim Ali and earlier a hunting
ground for the British rulers’ adjacent to the
Bombay Presidency Golf Club which is fortunately surviving
today. For Canada India Reactor all critical components were
shipped from Canada. Only change necessitated due to site
conditions was secondary sea water coolant. The erection and
commissioning gave considerable difficulties but helped Indian
Engineers, Chemists and Metallurgists to face the challenges and
graduate in nuclear technology. It is significant to note that fuel
fabrication technology was also developed in India in parallel and
significantly Indian fabricated fuel was also used as initial feed.
CIR was the workhorse for a long time and was renamed as CIRUS
after Dr Bhabha's death.

temple facing the ancient temple across the harbor in “Elephanta”
CIR remained for long time a place to learn and visit by mighty as
well as commoners. It was not just a show piece but a place to lean
and move on higher things. All big names in DAE for about next
20-25 years had their beginning in CIR. Visiting the place was eye
opener about higher limits of science and technology for one and
all, especially young engineers and scientists in early ‘60s. It is
heartening that Indo-Canada collaboration is finding its feet
again. However it goes to the credit of the Indian engineers and
scientists who had to single handedly solve the fuel failure
problem using innovative methods after the Canadians left after
construction. Another spin off from the setting up of CIR was the
fuel reprocessing technology which was developed in Trombay and
the
-
News Letter of AERWA Vol 16 No 4 July-August 2015 [4]
first Trombay plutonium plant went on stream in 1965 for
reprocessing CIR fuel. So we can see that the Canadian
collaboration paved the way for the complete fuel cycle technology
being developed in India. Thus the India Canada collaboration,
though was for setting up the CIR reactor, it acted as a trigger
for India embarking on the whole gamut of nuclear fuel cycle
activities. AEET now BARC was the cradle of development of the
entire nuclear fuel cycle viz.uranium extraction, uranium refining,
fuel fabrication, reactor operation, fuel reprocessing, waste
management and front line neutron research. It also created
foundation for regulatory activities in India when Dr. Bhabha
called upon a team headed by late Dr.Ganguly to prepare the safety
analysis report for CIR in 1960, and one of the authors
nostalgically remembers the 24 x 7 work on the document to meet the
target using calculators and slide rules. On the power reactor
front the Indian workhorse is the CANDU (Canadian Deuterium
Uranium) type natural uranium heavy water reactor which was
successfully replicated. RAPS-1 was the result of the Indo Canadian
collaboration. Canada walked back abruptly on its cooperation in
the aftermath of the 1974 Pokharan test. We were aghast at the
behavior of a sovereign nation. India had not broken any agreement.
The contract on peaceful use of nuclear energy was in built and
both Canada and India had signed on it. It was silent on making of
Atom Bomb and both the signatories Dr. Bhabha and Dr.Lewis were no
more, to comment about the spirit behind the agreement. In
retrospect, India is one country that has stood test of time for
its sagacious behaviour, be it about asking Coca Cola to wind up in
1977 (after 25 years) or Human Rights. However on the beneficial
aspects this boycott led India to develop its own PHWR technology.
After 1974, India on its own developed the CANDU reactor to such a
successful extent that it was often known as INDU (Indian heavy
water reactor) and today successfully operates 18 of these
reactors. This also led to a very successful Heavy water production
program which was also a glorious chapter in the Indian nuclear
program. India has further developed its PHWR technology to set up
600 MW heavy water reactors recently, but has been handicapped by
the lack of uranium resources in the country along with the denial
regimes for import of uranium fuel. So it is logical and natural
that the Canadian co-operation would be restarted and the two
countries would further develop 750 MW PHWR reactors with possible
fuel feed from the imported Canadian uranium. However in today’s
standards this is not the state of the art reactor concept and is
not as fuel efficient as the PWRs. Still from environmental
safety
point of view, Heavy Water Reactors are most friendly and safe
Nevertheless the restart of the co-operation is a welcome step and
most promising of all the nuclear deals. Thus the India Canadian
collaboration was extremely fruitful in the past and it is our
fervent wish that Indo-Canada nuclear collaboration will be soon
re-established and produce more fruitful ventures. 1. Former Head,

*************** AERWA NEWS AERWA: 18th Annual Day Celebrations
More than 100 members participated in the function. At the outset,
two minute silence was observed in the memory of 20 AERWA members
including MC member Shri M. M. V. Murthy who left for heavenly
abode during the year. Shri R. C. Pant, President AERWA felicitated
Chief Guest and then welcomed all members present. Dr Manchanda
introduced the Chief Guest of the function Dr R. Chidambaram,
Ex-Chairman AEC and Principal Scientific Adviser to the Govt. of
India and invited him to deliver his key note address.
Dr Chidambaram gave a very informative and motivating talk
useful to pensioners. He appreciated the work done by AERWA and
suggested the members to widen their social activities in the new
challenging areas such as; a) to spread literacy and ensure that no
children is left illiterate in 5 km radius of Anushakti Nagar, b)
to spread awareness in Anushakti Nagar about Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
and c) to empower the women in different walks of life .He said
that India of Dr Bhabha’s dreams has to be economically developed/
scientifically advanced country based on knowledge driven economy.
In this connection he suggested that GDP as development criteria
can be primarily based on per capita electricity consumption, life
expectancy and adult literacy. Nuclear energy along with the
renewable energy sources has a vital role in the energy security of
the country. He mentioned about the significant role India played
in IAEA programmes and many international cooperations including
the Large Hadron

************* Government Order/ News (Related Excerpts) 1.
Income Tax Return Forms ITR 1, 2 and 4S Simplified for Convenience
of the Tax Payers (Ministry of Finance, Govt of India; dt 31/5/15)
Forms ITR 1, 2 and 4S for Assessment Year 2015-16 are simplified in
the following manner for the convenience of the taxpayers:- 1)
Individuals having exempt income without any ceiling (other than
agricultural income exceeding Rs. 5,000) can now file Form ITR 1
(Sahaj). Similar simplification is also proposed for
individuals/HUF in respect of Form ITR 4S (Sugam). 2) At present
individuals/HUFs having income from more than one house property
and capital gains are required to file Form ITR-2. It is, however,
noticed that majority of individuals/HUFs who file Form ITR-2 do
not have capital gains. With a view to provide for a simplified
form for these individuals/HUFs, a new Form ITR 2A is proposed
which can be filed by an individual or HUF who does not have
capital gains, income from business/profession or foreign
asset/foreign income. 3) In lieu of foreign travel details, it is
now proposed that only Passport Number, if available, would be
required to be given in Forms ITR-2 and ITR-2A. Details of foreign
trips or expenditure thereon are not required to be furnished. 4)
As regards bank account details in all these forms, only the IFS
code, account number of all the current/savings account which are
held at any time during the previous year will be required to be
filled-up. The balance in accounts will not be required to be
furnished. Details of dormant accounts which are not operational
during the last three years are not required to be furnished.
5) An individual who is not an Indian citizen and is in India on
a business, employment or student visa (expatriate), would not
mandatorily be required to report the foreign assets acquired by
him during the previous years in which he was non-resident if no
income is derived from such assets during the relevant previous
year. 6) As a measure of simplification, it has been endeavoured to
ensure that in Form ITR 2 and the new Form ITR 2A, the main form
will not contain more than 3 pages, and other information will be
captured in the Schedules which will be required to be filled only
if applicable. As the software for these forms is under
preparation, they are likely to be available for e-filing by 3rd
week of June 2015. Accordingly, the time limit for filing these
returns is also proposed to be extended up to 31st August, 2015
(31.08.2015). A separate notification will be issued in this
regard.
*********** Important Court Cases A. Status of S-21 case (SO-E
Group) (M. Venugopalan/ MP Sankaran/ P Gururaj) 1. The S-21 case
which had come up for hearing in the mumbai CAT has been further
postponed to 10/07/15. 2. A meeting of S-21 retirees was held on
18/4/15, in the ARWA Hall, Anushakti Nagar with 34 S-21 members.
Shri M.Venugopalan explained how the recent verdict of the
Principal Bench of CAT, Delhi dismissing similar cases might turn
out to be a negative point for us. However, there is enough scope
to appeal against these judgments. He pointed out that even if the
case reaches the final stage on 27/4/15 continuance of the
litigation at the level of High Court would be imminent. 3. Shri
Venkatesh Murthy indicated that an amount of Rs 171972 was
available as on 31/03/15 out of the money already collected at
Rs.2000/- per member. If a contribution of Rs 3000/- per member is
additionally collected, a total of Rs.405000/- from the 135 members
would form the kitty. This pooled together, the funds position
would surge to about Rs 5.77 lakhs which would ensure adequate
financial back up for pursuing the case even beyond CAT. Collection
of additional amount of Rs 3,000/- from each member was unanimously
agreed. It was also decided that the new membership fee would be Rs
5,000/- which could be paid in two installments, i.e. Rs 2000/- and
Rs 3000/- if so desired. The cheque drawn in favour of Atomic
Energy Retirees Welfare Association with name and contact number
and also indicating “for S-21 case” on the backside could be sent
to Shri N.R. Nair, Flat No. 1, Cosmopolitan CHS, Plot No. 48,

(Tel: 27669466 – email [email protected]). It was also
decided that if change of the Advocate at the level of High Court
becomes essential, the same could be considered depending upon the
performance of the present incumbent during the final hearing at
CAT and other relevant factors. 4. Shri Sankaran requested all the
members to intimate their email id (care of email id if personal id
not available) along with name, latest address and contact Tele/Mob
number to Mr. Venugopalan through his email id [email protected]
(Mob. 98696525478), so that the process of communication would be
expeditious and simplified. Shri Venugopalan who is already
handling the work of drafting the case documents, etc. has to
struggle hard and any volunteers to associate with him would be
most welcome. 5. Shri M P Sankaran has informed that initially 17
individual members of AERWA had signed the original petition for
this S -21 case as filed in Mumbai CAT. However, other S-21 persons
who have not signed the petition are also applicants in the case
because of their membership in AERWA and their contribution for the
case. They will also be benefited if we win the case. This point
was got clarified from the Advocate at the stage of filing of the
case and also recently. Perhaps, there is a possibility that
non-members of AERWA may not get the benefit and they may have to
seek judicial remedy separately B. Status of S-29, S-29+ and <
33yrs cases (BM Misra) 1. Nine contempt cases including one by 660
members S-29 group and 7 MAs including one from 820 applicants from
all grades requesting for implementation of arrears w.e.f1.1.2006,
came for hearing on 27.5.2015 at PRCAT, Delhi. The court, in view
of the HSC orders dt 17.3.2015 in 3 SLP cases giving Govt. 4
months’ time for giving arrears wef 1.1.2006 and in the interim not
to press for any contempt case, postponed the hearing to 19.8.
2015.
2. The case for minimum 50% pension for pensioners having <
33 yrs but more than 20 yrs of service was allowed by CAT, Delhi on
April 21, 2015 giving Govt. 3 months’ time to implement. In a
similar case by a pensioner at HSC, the Hon’ble court has rejected
pro-rata reduction of pension for pre-2006 pensioner and agreed for
minimum 50% pension for pre-2006 pensioner having less than33 yrs
but more than 20 yrs of service.
3. The OAs 3789/2013 at CAT Delhi requesting reinstating pension
on special pay of Rs 2000 wef 1.1.1996 and pension on special pay
of Rs 4000 wef 1.1.2006 onwards for pre-2006 H+ pensioners and
OA/1003/2014 for post 2010 H+ pensioners retired from July 2010
onwards were allowed on 30.10.2014
and 16.12.2014 respectively. Meanwhile, an MA filed by DAE
requesting 3 months more time for implementation came for hearing
on May 25, 2015 at CAT Delhi and the next date of hearing was fixed
for July 9, 2015.
4. An appeal was sent to Chairman, AEC and Secretary DAE for
implementation of both orders. As no response was forthcoming, an
RTI was filed with the DAE. Subsequently DAE officials called AERWA
officials for a meeting and informed that the Department is
considering implementation of the orders and are in correspondence
with DOP&PW. DAE has now sent the financial implication in
implementation of both the orders as asked by DOP&PW.
5. In a recent judgment Patna High Court has allowed the Writ
Petition by a pre-2006 S-30 pensioner Shri M M P Sinha setting
aside the CAT Patna judgment ordering a pension of Rs 38,500 which
is the maximum pension by a post 2006 S-29 pensioners (67,000+
10,000/2) on the ground that a HAG pensioner cannot get less
pension than a Junior grade pensioner.

accordance with the directions of Govt. of India Dr. Rajendra A.
Badwe, Director, Tata Memorial Centre signed a MOU with National
Cancer Center (NCC), Mongolia for gifting a Tele-therapy unit
Bhabhatron-II, on 17th May, 2015. Speaking about the Bhabhatron-II
machine developed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Prime
Minister Narendra Modi said ”It is state-of-art nuclear medicine
cancer therapy machine, developed and manufactured in India," .
While addressing the Mongolian Parliament, Prime Minister Modi said
the Bhabhatron equipment "can help treat cancer in Mongolia. This
will be the first demonstration of our cooperation in the civil
nuclear sector". 3. India successfully test fires nuclear-capable
Agni III ballistic missile (Press Trust of India, April 16, 2015
6:29 pm) India on Thursday (April 16, 2015) successfully test fired
its nuclear-capable Agni-III ballistic missile with a strike range
of more than 3,000 km from Wheeler Island off Odisha coast. The
indigenously developed surface-to-surface missile was test fired
from a mobile launcher at launch complex-4 of the Integrated Test
Range (ITR) at Wheeler Island by army at about 0955 hrs, defence
sources said. “The trial, carried out by the Strategic Forces
Command (SFC of the Indian Army), was fully successful,” ITR
Director M V K V Prasad told PTI. Logistic support for the test was
provided by the Defense Research and Development Organization
(DRDO). “It was the third user trial in the Agni-III series carried
out to establish the ‘repeatability’ of the missile’s performance,”
a DRDO official said. For data analyses, the entire trajectory of
today’s trial was monitored through various telemetry stations,
electro-optic systems and sophisticated radars located along the
coast and by naval ships anchored near the impact point, the
sources said. The Agni-III missile is powered by a two-stage solid
propellant system. With a length of 17 meters, the missile’s
diameter is 2 meters and launch weight is around 50 tonnes. It can
carry a warhead of 1.5 tonne which is protected by carbon composite
heat shield. The sleek missile, already inducted into the armed
forces, is equipped with hybrid navigation, guidance and control
systems along with advanced on board computer. The electronic
systems connected with the

missile are hardened for higher vibration, thermal and acoustic
effects, a DRDO scientist said. Though the first developmental
trial of Agni-III carried out on July 9, 2006 could not provide
desired result, subsequent tests on April 12, 2007, May 7, 2008,
February 7, 2010 as well as the first user trial on September 21,
2012 and next on December 23, 2013 from the same base were all
successful.
*********** Contribution from Members 1. Antelope Canyon-A
special work of art created by nature Antelope Canyon (Arizona,
USA) was formed by erosion of Sandstone, primarily due to flash
flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes.
Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the
extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed
and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the
passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing
hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes
in the rock.
