Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Srikumar Banerjee has said that India's strategic programme will be further strengthened to ensure minimum credible deterrence. He said different kinds of scanners will be deployed at all entry and exit points on land, air and sea to provide security against any unauthorised movement of nuclear materials. Banerjee was addressing the Department of Atomic Energy staff on the 101st birth anniversary of nuclear scientist Homi Bhabha in New Delhi on Friday. He said these scanners are being made by Electronics Corporation of India (ECIL) with the help of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and a private partner. Mr Banerjee said one such scanner for containers was being installed at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Nhava Sheva in Maharashtra. Reaffirming the agency’s credentials, Atomic Energy Commission Chairman said during the Commonwealth Games, ECIL supplied security equipment worth Rs 230 crore. A large number of personnel from various security agencies were also trained on detection of any radiation sources and mitigation of any radiation emergency. On the issue of international collaboration, Banerjee said there were several projects, in which India will be participating and establishing several facilities in the country to attract international scientists, including those of Indian origin. BARC Director R K Sinha said as part of the Indo-US deal, transport of imported fuel from research reactor APSARA out of Trombay had already commenced. He added that BARC also commissioned a new reprocessing plant in Tarapur on Friday to carry out the reprocessing of power reactor fuel.
