Rosatom and IIT Bombay launch simulator training to plug India nuclear workforce gap

Rosatom and IIT Bombay launch simulator training to plug India nuclear workforce gap

Rosatom State Corporation, via ETC GET, has partnered with IIT Bombay and ProSIM R&D Pvt Ltd to pilot a nuclear specialist training programme running April 15–17. The course will use simulator and digital twin technologies to build hands-on operational skills, targeting a shortage of trained manpower as India expands nuclear capacity, including long-term projects like Kudankulam.

India fast breeder reactor reaches criticality, a rare leap toward energy independence

India fast breeder reactor reaches criticality, a rare leap toward energy independence

India’s fast-breeder nuclear reactor has reached criticality, marking a major step in a long-running effort to secure energy independence. The reactor is designed to use plutonium recovered from spent fuel to generate electricity and produce additional fissile material—technology that only a handful of countries have mastered. Analysts say the milestone strengthens India’s next phase of nuclear capability.
