Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities in Operation

Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities include both the front end and back end nuclear fuel cycle facilities that involve exploration, mining, milling, fuel fabrication, spent fuel reprocessing and other associated facilities.

Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD)

Exploration and Research to identify and evaluate uranium resources in the country is the prime mandate of Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD). For implementing this important task, investigations are taken up across the length and breadth of the country from Regional Exploration & Research Centres of AMD located at New Delhi , Bengaluru, Jamshedpur, Shillong, Jaipur, Nagpur and Hyderabad (Headquarter & South Central Region).

AMD is presently employing world’s latest technology for airborne geophysical surveys, and multi-disciplinary field operations viz. geological, geophysical, Geo-chemical surveys on regional as well as detailed scale and drilling activities by induction of state of the art hydrostatic rigs. Its laboratories, to support the field investigations, are equally well equipped with latest facilities. AMD also has beach-sands & offshore and rare metal & rare earth Investigations Groups.

Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), the national regulator for enforcing nuclear and radiation safety in the country, has been exercising its regulatory control over the exploration and research activities of AMD.

AERB receives the Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) report from AMD periodically and the Safety Committee of AERB with experts from Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), reviews the safety issues related to AMD activities.

AERB’s regulatory inspection teams periodically inspect the drilling sites as well as the laboratories to assess compliance with the regulatory norms.
