CHENNAI: The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and the Central Board Secondary Education (CBSE) are jointly organising a 2-day seminar on "Nuclear Energy - Powering the sustainable growth of India".

DAE's prestigious annual regional event is expected to attract about 350 science educators practicing teaching in Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences across standards IX to XII in CBSE schools in and around Chennai. A maximum of three teachers per school are allowed to register on first-cum-first serve basis, on November 17 and 18 at D.G. Vaishnav College, Arumbakkam.

The seminar will comprise lectures by experts from Chennai and Mumbai on power and non-power applications of nuclear energy and related domains. A feedback session, a panel discussion and an optional field visit to a hospital or an industry in Chennai where radioisotope is being used are the other highlights. Informal contests will also be conducted and toppers will win surprise gifts.
