Its applications can be found in practically al l parts of the globe and touches almost every aspect of human life. It is helping the mankind in the area of agriculture\, energy\, health\, industr y\, hydrology\, research\, drinking water\, waste management\, environment \, crime detection\, animal health\, natural resource management\, explora tion of space\, security\, human resource development\, preservation and c arbon dating of historical objects\, unraveling the natural mysteries\, ma terial development\, academics and food preservation. It has the outstandi ng safety track record. There is more than enough uranium\, thorium and pl utonium to supply the entire world's electricity for several hundred years . But due to three accidents namely The Three Mile Island\, The Chernobyl disaster and Fukushima Daiichi\, people have fear. The serial failures of cooling and containment systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power pla nt in Japan due to emergency power failure by unexpectedly high Tsunami ca using damage to the reactor have created doubts in the minds of people. Op ponents to nuclear power have relied on certain misconceptions and inaccur ate information in making their case against nuclear power. In order to pr omote long term public awareness of the concepts of nuclear science and te chnology\, there is need to broaden our interaction with electronic and pr int media. Public misconceptions should be corrected. Dissemination of pro per knowledge is very important. The time is ripe for the nuclear communit y to have a balanced and more holistic information dissemination strategy. In our era\, the media have almost complete control over public perceptio n. Public perception of atomic energy is strongly influenced by media cove rage of research and development work being carried out by nuclear scienti sts.\n\nSpeaker(s): RKSingh\, Dr. Kuber Bhainsa\n\nAgenda: \nDissemination of Technological developments and research activities in nuclear establis hments.\n\nRoom: Abdul Kalam Centre for Nation Building\, Bldg: Main Block \, Beside VSEZ\, Visakhapatnam\, Andhra Pradesh\, India\, 530049 LOCATION:Room: Abdul Kalam Centre for Nation Building\, Bldg: Main Block\, Beside VSEZ\, Visakhapatnam\, Andhra Pradesh\, India\, 530049 ORGANIZER:keerthi.deepika@gmail.com SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:Empowering India through Atomic Energy URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/184201 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Nuclear Science and technology is the best scientific gift of 20<sup>th</sup> century to human race.
