Abstract
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) is a premier research centre of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) with its primary objectives of providing self reliant Research & Development (R&D) base for the development of Nuclear Power in India. This includes all aspects of nuclear fuel cycle, starting with prospecting and mining of uranium, ending with back-end of the fuel cycle, which involves reprocessing of the spent fuel and nuclear waste management. While pursuing its mandate R&D in nuclear energy at BARC has not only generated a comprehensive Indian Nuclear Power Programme but also has lead to huge knowledge wealth in terms of large number of Non-Power Applications (NPAs) and spin-off technologies (Spin-offs) for societal and industrial benefits. Detail list of technologies with technology brochures advertised for non-exclusive transfer of technologies is available for interested parties on BARC Home page: www.barc.gov.in/technologies.
