Book Description

He was the Chairman of the Governing Council of the Indian Institute of Science and the Council of Management, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research. He was the Director Emeritus of the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS). He was a Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha. Dr. Ramanna held many positions of importance such as Scientific Adviser to the Minister of Defence, Director General of DRDO., Secretary for Defence Research and Minister of State for Defence, Government of India, to mention a few. He was the Chairman of the Task Force of Education set up by the Government of Karnataka. Dr. Ramanna was the recipient of many awards and distinction, which include Padma Vibhushan, Deshikottama from Shantiniketan, Lifetime Achievement Award from FICCI, New Delhi, Bhatnagar Memorial Award and D.Sc. (honorus causa) from various universities. Apart from being a nuclear scientist, he specialised to the fields of European Music, (accomplished pianist) and Philosophy. Dr. Raja Ramanna is the author of the books "The Structure of Music in Raga and Western Systems"published by Bhavan and "Years of Pilgrimage", an autobiography.

About the Author- 2 Prof. L.V. Krishnan, obtained his Honours Degree in Physics from Presidency College, Chennai, joined the Training School of the Department of Atomic Energy in 1958 and received further training in USA and France. He is specialized in the fields of Radiation Protection. Reactor Safety and Environmental Studies. He served in the Department until 1997, retiring as the Director of Safety Research and Health Physics Group in Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam. Prof. Krishnan has also to his credit numerous research papers in the above areas. Prof. Krishnan is a co-author (with Prof. C.V. Sundaram and Dr. T.S. Iyengar) of the book "Atomic Energy in India: Fifty Years" which provides a historical account of the developments in this field in the country. Since 2005, he is associated with the Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy, CSTEP of Bengaluru in the role of Adviser on nuclear power related aspects. In the period 2008-2017, he served as Adjunct Faculty in National Institute of Advanced Studies in Bengaluru in the International Strategic Studies Programme. Since retirement in 1997, he has made nearly hundred presentations on diverse aspects of nuclear power at academic and public institutions, Government organisations and Think Tanks in India and elsewhere.

Foreword Bhavan's Gandhi Centre of Science and Human Values has become increasingly popular with the student community because of its researched publications on the culture and values as also on account of the Students' Interface Programmes conducted in different Educational Institutions both in Bengaluru and outside. The central theme of the publication project is Gandhian wisdom on various issues of contemporary relevance. But it is considered essential to include many other themes and subjects which have social and scientific relevance. Gandhiji himself said that he welcomed advancement of science and technology for solving our problems. That is the reason why some of outstanding scientists of the country were approached for writing about the achievements in the respective areas of their specialization. I was happy to see the enthusiastic response from them to write for the young on scientific themes. I am grateful to the scholars who have obliged the Bhavan's Gandhi Centre of Science and Human Values with their contribution. The book is authored by two eminent nuclear scientists Dr.Raja Ramanna, who is household name in Indian Atomic Research and Prof. L.V.Krishnan, former Director of Safety Research and Health Physics programme at the Kalpakkam Centre. The authors have expressed "...It is our hope that this book would help the reader to understand why this country needs nuclear power and why it is considered safe. The accent is also on Indian achievements...."

Preface This book on the "ELEMENTS OF NUCLEAR POWER" is written as an introduction to nuclear energy for students of Physics at the level of 10th to 12th standards of the pre-university classes of India. While there are many books on the subject, this small book has the advantage of improving their general knowledge without taking too much of their time from examination work. The contents, however, have not been oversimplified and a certain degree of familiarity with basic concepts of science is assumed. It is our hope that the book would also help the reader understand why this country needs nuclear power and why it is considered safe. The accent is also on Indian achievements. The chapter on 'Nuclear Weapons' is intended to provide the reader with some basic information on a topic that is often in the news. The authors wish to express their gratitude to Prof.S.Rajagopal of National Institute of Advanced Studies(NIAS), Bangalore for his help in rephrasing many paragraphs and correcting many errors. Without his help, the book would not have reached its present stage.
