    Visits to Asian Countries post retirement: A

    Travelogue (Part I)

    During my post doctoral years as a Fulbright

    fellow, I stayed in Texas from 1985-87. Few

    incidents have remained etched in my memory

    all these years. I had rented out an apt. close to

    down town (as I thought it will be much easier to

    manage there even without car). My lab mates

    were shocked to learn this and expressed their

    great concern as down towns were considered

    unsafe particularly if you are with family. There

    were no major incidents except that one day I

    found PRAM of my 2 months old son was stolen.

    However, out of fear, I decided to move away

    from downtown. My other impression relates to

    self centred nature of Americans. Superfluously

    they were warm but usually cold when you need

    any help. Family values were not a part of social

    fabric. There were advertisements by agencies to

    register with them for your last rites. It was

    interesting to watch Presidential election

    debates in 1986 where restoration of family

    values in American Society was an issue. In

    general, There was very little exposure of real

    India to an average American during those years.

    During the two years, I watched only three sixty

    minutes episodes about India on TV and these

    related to Bride burning, Snake charmers and

    God men of India. Subsequently I had several

    occasions to visit USA and other Western

    Countries (like UK, France, Germany …), but my

    impressions of eighties about westerners have

    continued till today except that exposure of real

    India has improved during the last three decades.

    Post retirement from BARC, I had the occasions

    to visit several Asian countries (South Korea,

    China, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia,

    Thailand and Bhutan) and it was a great pleasure

    to see that world in east is very different from

    that in the west. One common thread I found

    was passion for their language and culture,

    family values and respect for senior citizens and

    academicians, better law & order and more

    cheerful faces. I am sharing my observations

    about some of these countries (I visited) to urge

    on readers to consider Asian countries as their

    tourist destinations to explore a very different

    world from the west (which most of the AERWA

    members are more familiar either during their

    official trips in active service or due to their trips

    to visit their children and other relatives post

    retirement)

    South Korea:

    I had the opportunity to work at Sungkyunkwan

    University in South Korea from 2011-2014. At

    social and cultural level I found very contrasting

    world as compared to the west. Biggest occasion

    among Koreans is CHUSEOK, which is celebrated

    for 4-5 days in memory of their forefathers with

    extended families in September(it can be

    compared with Shradha we perform for our

    departed elders).

    Folk Music in a South Korean Village

    The whole country is at stand still as far as

    offices, shops and academic institutes are

    concerned. Everyone travels to his/her native

    place, enjoy the company of nears and dears and

    pay tribute to the elders. Seoul International

    Fireworks Festival is a major annual attraction

    when more than 100,000 blasts of vivid fireworks

    will sketch Korea’s night sky over Han river. It is

    watched by 1.2 million people, largest gathering

    in South Korea. However the next day Yeoudio

    Hangang Park, the venue flooded with people is

    clear of litters and left overs. Another thing that

    struck me was the extraordinary high regard the

    Koreans display towards academicians and senior

    citizens. It may look strange but every time I

    asked help for direction to my destination even

    from a stranger, it ended up being escorted to

    the destination. Never heard any case of theft; if

    you forget any item even in a public place,

    chances of your getting it back are around 95%.

    Koreans are very proud of their language and

    culture (music, dance and art). Most of the

    Koreans speak only Korean (Hangul) and only the

    younger generation is familiar with English. Most

    of the restaurants serve food to the customers

    seated on floor mats. I cannot resist narrating

    two incidents where I sought the help of my

  • News Letter of AERWA 2020 4 Vol. 21(2) Mar-Apr 2020

    Korean Ph.D. students. In one case, I wanted

    some help at Bank. After collecting our tokens

    from dispensing machine, we were waiting for

    our turn. After a while, my student went inside a

    cabin to meet a Bank Officer and returned to her

    seat. Once our token no. was called, we

    completed our job and were walking towards our

    department. I could not hold myself and asked

    the student ”Did you know the Bank Officer

    whom you met inside cabin”. Her answer was

    “Yes, He is my friend”. My natural second

    question was, why did you not complete the

    bank job there. Friends, believe me, my question

    did not make any sense to her (I was not able to

    communicate to her the essence of my

    question). She kept saying “I will do my work

    only when my token no is called”. Friends,

    believe me, I was embarrassed and felt very

    small in front of my student. In another case, I

    needed help at a general store where the staff

    was not very proficient in English. After we

    finished our shopping, we came out with our

    bags. My student did not let me carry my bag. He

    explained to me if any one sees me walking with

    bag in my hand, he will be considered ill

    mannered/brat. I experienced such gestures

    even from strangers on several occasions.

    INCHEON airport is very magnificent and one can

    watch live dance and music program as you

    reach arrival hall. Seoul is the CapitaL city,

    Bhusan is film city, Daejon is science city and

    Jejuis land is a popular tourist destination for

    almost 12 months due its tropical climate unlike

    main land Korea which touches -20 degree C

    during winter.

    Diamond Batteries: A solution to radioactive

    waste?

    Disposal of radioactive waste, the long lived in

    particular; from nuclear establishments has

    always been a contentious issue. However, the

    radioactive decay of this waste does not have to

    be seen as toxic in future, and can instead be

    viewed as a source of long lasting energy to be

    captured.

    Graphite blocks are used to moderate nuclear

    reactions in many nuclear power plants. The

    neutron radiation during operations activates the

    non-radioactive carbon by capturing a neutron

    and producing radioactive carbon-14, mostly at

    the surface of these blocks. Research by a group

    at University of Bristol Cabot Institute has shown

    that it is possible to extract most of the carbon-

    14 from the graphite and convert it into a

    diamond, thereby generating a nuclear-powered

    battery.

    Diamonds are made from pure carbon subjected

    to high pressures, usually deep in the Earth’s

    crust. But they are also being artificially made for

    decades.

    At present, such a battery produces very low

    power, but it has no moving parts, no emissions

    of any type including radiation, needs no

    maintenance, does not need to be recharged and

    will operate for thousands of years

    Research on small nuclear batteries fabricated

    from radioactive material began in the 1970s

    when beta voltaic devices were fabricated to

    power pacemakers. The first commercially

    produced device was the Betacel, using the

    radioisotope Pm-147 and had a lifetime of 10

    years.

    Researchers at the University of Bristol earlier

    showed that radioactive C-14 developed in waste

    blocks is mainly concentrated on the outer parts

    of the block and much of it can be effectively

    removed from the blocks by heating the blocks

    to the sublimation point of 3915 K (3642 °C, 6588

  • News Letter of AERWA 2020 5 Vol. 21(2) Mar-Apr 2020

    °F) which will release the carbon in gaseous form.

    This carbon, C-14 in fact, can be converted to

    artificial diamond and be sandwiched between

    two non radioactive diamond wafers.

    A typical AA battery stores 13,000 Joules and is

    exhausted after about 24 hours, while a C-14

    diamond battery would produce only 15 Joules

    per day but have a half life of almost 6,000 years.

    During this time, the diamond battery would

    have produced over 20 million Joules and would

    produce another 10 million during the next 5,730

    years.

    Although diamond batteries are by no means a

    solution to the issue of nuclear waste recycling

    and storage, they offer a channel to put some of

    the waste to productive use as safe, durable,

    energy source to power exploration and medical

    electronics.

    By encapsulating radioactive material inside

    diamonds, the nuclear waste is converted into a

    nuclear-powered battery and a long-term supply

    of clean energy.”

    So these batteries would be useful in situations

    where you could not, or would rather not,

    replace the battery, such as in pacemakers or in

    spacecraft and satellites.

    These batteries are already being tested in

    extreme environments where it is difficult to

    replace conventional power sources, including in

    sensors on top of volcanoes.

    “Eventually, a highly powerful version of a

    diamond battery could power a mobile phone,

    “Primarily though, they are best for devices

    requiring long lifetime, low power and where it is

    difficult to replace energy sources.”

    Since the diamond batteries are encased in a

    non-radioactive diamond layer, any radiation

    given off by the C14 source and makes them safe

    to use in medical and consumer devices.

    AERWA celebrates Pensioners’ Day:

    Pensioners’ Day was celebrated by AERWA on

    21st

    December 2019, at AERB A-Block Auditorium.

    Dr Suhas B Naik-Satam of Nehru Planetarium was

    the Chief Guest. Dr Taru Jindal , MS ( Obstetrics &

    Gynec.), IBCLC ( USA) gave an invited talk. Shri S.

    S. Boopathy, CAO (Pen), BARC, briefed the

    audience on the measures instituted for

    addressing pensioners’ grievances. About 100

    members attended the function.

    The proceedings started with singing of the

    National Anthem. Two minutes silence was

    observed in memory of those members who left

    us for their heavenly abode.

    Dr. V K Manchanda, President AERWA, welcomed

    the participants and gave a brief account of the

    current activities of the Association. He informed

    that during the year, AERWA accepted the

    request by the Dept of Pension & Pensioners’

    Welfare (DOPPW) to participate in their pilot

    project for generating Digital Life Certificate

    (DLC) of pensioners through Iris scan. DLC camps

    were organised in Housing Societies in nearby

    areas of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. One camp

    was held in the DAE colony, Tarapur. Many of the

    pensioners, with mobility problem, were visited

    at their residence for generating the DLC. In all,

    about 425 DLCs were generated.

    Dr. Manchanda invited members to visit the

    office and participate in the activities of the

    association.

  • News Letter of AERWA 2020 6 Vol. 21(2) Mar-Apr 2020

    AERWA felicitated Shri Prabhat Raju Koli, a son of

    a BARC employee, for his unprecedented

    achievements of swimming across channels and

    for completing marathon swims in India,

    England, South Africa, Denmark, Japan, Scotland,

    Spain, California, Hawaii, and New York. He is the

    recipient of Tenzing Norgay National Adventure

    Award and Triple Crown of Open Water

    Swimming award, awarded to him by The

    President of India to recognize his achievements

    in adventures.

    The theme of the key note address by the chief

    guest was “Marching towards the Moon”. Dr.

    NaikSatam briefly explained about the

    Chandrayan-2 mission and its accomplishments.

    He also took the audience through a journey of

    human beings association with the moon from

    time immemorial to the present day and recalled

    moon’s position in the spiritual, social and

    cultural life of mankind.

    Dr Taru Jindal narrated her personal experience

    and the challenges in her service to the most

    underprivileged section of the society. Providing

    medical aid was far easier than taking the people

    out of their social backwardness and ignorance in

    Champaran she said. She worked hard, first to

    identify herself as one among them and win their

    trust & confidence. She had to teach the

    importance of hygiene and healthy practices

    before she could address the diseases and other

    real health issues. With her selfless services and

    sacrifices it was then a matter of time that she

    became the darling of the masses in the area.

    She could convert the most backward District

    Hospital in Champaran to one of the best in

    Bihar.

    Shri K. T.P. Balakrishnan, Secretary, AERWA,

    proposed a vote of thanks. Dr. Mohan

    Chougaonkar anchored the programme.

    January 1, 2020

    Sub: Eligibility of permanently disabled son of a

    CGHS beneficiary to avail CGHS facility

    It has been decided that in case the disability has

    occurred after 25yrs of age, he can be considered

    a dependent for availing medical facility under

    CGHS.

    Developments after 7 CPC

    1. Revised PPOs of 7th

    CPC of about 175 H+

    pensioners adding pension on special pay (by

    adding special pay to compute pension for both,

    pre-2006 and post- 2006 cases), were prepared

    & sent by BARC and were received at CPAO.

    Remaining cases are under process at BARC.

    PPOs of H+ pensioners from DAE, IGCAR and NFC

    were also sent and are received at CPAO which

    has so far issued about 75 SSAs to the respective

    CPPCs of the pension paying banks.

    However revised pension of pre-2006 H+

    pensioners who retired at 22,400 basic pay and

    above have been fixed at the same pension as

    those who retired at 21,900 basic pay, AERWA is

    in touch with the Department requesting it to

    approach DP&PW to extend column 2 of

    concordance Table or suggest suitable formula

    for fixing appropriate pension of such

    pensioners.

    BARC and DAE have not agreed to revise the 6th

    CPC pension of pre-2006 H+ pensioners adding

    special pay of Rs 4000 where as it is added in

    case of post 2006 H+ pensioners.

    2. The next date of hearing of contempt

    petition filed by AEPWF at PBCAT, Delhi for not

    revising 7th

    CPC pension including two additional

    increments for D to G grade retirees, is Feb

    After my recent lab tests, my doctor said I was

    doing "fairly well" for my age.

    A little concerned about that comment, I asked

    him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?"

    He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco or drink beer

    or wine?"

    "Oh no," I replied.

    Then he asked, "Do you eat lot of non vegetarian

    food"

    I said, "No, I know that all red meat is very

    unhealthy."

    He continued, "Do you spend a lot of time in the

    sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or

    bicycling?"

    "No, I don't," I said.

    He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or

    have a lot of sex?" ","

    I said. "No I don't do any of those things."

    He looked at me and said, "Then why the hell do

    you want to live up to 80."
