REACTOR 2 LAST

Meanwhile, work is on to upgrade BARC and modify DHRUVA
reactor to meet demands for medical radioisotopes in Indian
hospitals as there is a global shortage of the fission
Molybdenium-99 radioisiotope (fission Moly99), the BARC
director said.

BARC has also plans to build a new high flux research
reactor of 100 MW at its second complex in Vizag in Andhra
Pradesh which is likely to make use of external neutron source
with the help of Accelerator Driven subcritical system (ADSS)
to come up in the new complex, Banerjee said. PTI LV
